Mental Health Matters !!!

We believe in the importance of educating our volunteers and community members about mental health issues. Our Mental Health First Aid Course is one of the initiatives we’ve implemented to empower our volunteers and community members with essential mental health knowledge and skills. Through this course, participants learn to recognise signs of mental distress, provide initial support, and connect individuals with appropriate resources.

Past projects and Future initiatives

We have successfully conducted projects and initiatives in the past related to mental health. These projects have provided valuable training and education to our volunteers and community members, equipping them with the tools to better support those facing mental health challenges. By raising awareness about mental health issues and offering support and education, we’ve helped reduce stigma, increase understanding, and promote overall well-being within our community. 

Our mission is to continue mental health awareness campaigns and to educate volunteers and community members about mental health issues.
