🌱 Recognising Distress, Preventing Su***de
A meaningful initiative by the Interact Club of Montebello on Sunday, 30th August, bringing our young Interactors together for an important awareness session on Recognising Distress and Preventing Su***de.
🤝 With the valuable support of Befrienders Mauritius, represented by Doris and Jean Marie, our Interactors had the opportunity to better understand the signs of distress, how to approach a friend who may be struggling, and most importantly, to realise that there is no shame in seeking help when we need it ourselves.
🗣️ The session was not only about learning how to support others, but also about looking after ourselves. It reminded our young people that it is okay to speak up, reach out and ask for help when needed — we do not have to face difficult moments alone.
❓ The open question-and-answer session made the afternoon even more meaningful, giving the Interactors the opportunity to ask questions, share their thoughts and gain a better understanding of how they can be there for themselves and for their friends.
👏 A special thank you to Kalvin, President of MGI, and Ourvahsh, President of College St Joseph, for their presence and support for this important initiative.
🌟 Congratulations to the Interact Club of Montebello under the leadership of President Sharvesh for taking the initiative to address such an important topic and creating a safe space where young people could learn, ask questions, listen and understand that asking for help is a sign of strength.
💬 Sometimes, a conversation can be the first step towards making a difference.
