MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS PROGRAM

The program aimed to promote open conversations about mental health and build resilience among individuals. The speaker gave an insightful presentation on recognizing early signs of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and alcoholism, while also discussing effective management and coping strategies.

She provided practical guidance, shared real-life experiences, and encouraged participants to prioritize mental well-being and seek support when necessary.

The event was very interactive and impactful, increasing awareness about mental health issues and the importance of compassion, understanding, and early intervention. Members expressed appreciation for the session and pledged to continue advocating for mental health within their communities.
