This week-long event engages students, staff, and the wider university community through a series of activities, workshops, and campaigns aimed at promoting resilience, self-care, and mental health literacy.
Why Mental Health Awareness Matters
Mental health is an essential aspect of overall well-being. By raising awareness, we aim to:
- Reduce stigma associated with mental health challenges
- Equip individuals with tools to manage stress and maintain emotional balance
- Encourage early help-seeking and support for those in need
- Strengthen community connections and promote a culture of care
