Untangle: A Mental Health Project
Untangle is the post-project of SEALNet Project Philippines 2018: Mental Health Awareness. Untangle is found and led by a team of Cambodian youths for the purpose of raising more awareness of mental health in Cambodia.
Why Mental Health? The surrounding problems of mental health in Cambodia are the reasons why this project exists, and why we advocate for mental health. According to Cambodian Mental Health Survey, 40% of young people (10-24 years old) are subjected to many types of mental illness (TPO Cambodia, 2012). On top of that, there is still the misconception among Cambodian youths and old aged people when they hear the words “Mental Health” or “Mental Illness”. The people who suffer from mental illnesses are faced with difficulty accessing help and other accessibility. Thus, from years to years their voice is still in their head, the illness is still the illness, and then the string is still being tangled.
Why Project “Untangle”? The goals are to raise awareness of Mental Health in Cambodia, especially in the youth population, to reduce the stigma of Mental Health and to gain an understanding of psycho-social problems. Through Untangle, Cambodian youth can be more aware of their own mental health, to know how to help themselves and others if they have mental health issues through this sustainable project. Last but not least, we aim to break the voice of mental health where mental health discussion can happen without fear, shame, and judgment as being imposed as physical health, hopefully, Cambodian people would not interpret “mental illness” wrongly.
How does Project “Untangle” work? To effectively reach our goals and objectives in promoting mental health awareness, various departments are formed as the structure of Untangle.
