10 Days of Awareness | Let’s Talk Mental Health 🧠✨

Ten days, one important message: mental health matters, and every conversation counts.

Throughout our campaign for World Mental Health Day, we explored mental well-being, challenged common myths, addressed academic stress, promoted self-care, and highlighted the importance of healthy relationships and therapy.

Awareness posts, interactive stories, a micro-trottoir, campus activities, affirmations, and our panel discussion, “The Reality Behind Students’ Mental Health,” highlighted the importance of mental well-being and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health.

As we look back on these 10 days, let’s continue breaking the stigma, supporting one another, and reminding ourselves that no one should have to struggle in silence 💚.

World Mental Health Day | Let’s Talk Mental Health 🧠✨

Behind every smile, there may be a story we don’t know. Behind every individual, there may be struggles that go unseen and words left unspoken.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remind ourselves that mental health matters just as much as physical health. Everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported without fear of judgment.

Let’s break the stigma, encourage open conversations, and create a safe space where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness.

Remember, you are not alone, your feelings are valid, and it’s okay not to be okay.💗

Day 9 | Let’s Talk Mental Health 🧠✨

Behind the deadlines, exams, and expectations, students may be facing struggles that often go unnoticed.

As part of our 10-day awareness campaign for World Mental Health Day, we brought students’ mental health into focus through a panel discussion on “The Reality Behind Students’ Mental Health.”

The discussion provided an opportunity to reflect on the realities of student life, encourage open conversations about mental health, and emphasise the importance of creating a supportive and understanding campus environment where every student feels heard and valued.

Here are some highlights from the day!✨

Let’s Make Mental Health a Conversation🧠✨

Mental health is still surrounded by stigma, but talking about it can help change the way we understand and support one another. Starting a conversation can be the first step toward breaking the silence. 💭

We took to campus to hear different voices and perspectives on mental health. Let’s keep the conversation going. 🫶🏽

💌 Speak up. Listen without judgment. Check in on someone. And most importantly, don’t be afraid to talk about mental health.

🧠💗 DAY 1 | Let's Talk About Mental Health

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it's something we don't always talk about.

It's about how we think, feel, cope with life's challenges and connect with the people around us.

Over the next 10 days, we'll be opening conversations, challenging misconceptions, sharing experiences and reminding each other that it's okay not to be okay.

Because mental health matters. And so do you. 🌷

FOCUS ON HER | KIRAN GANDHI 🏃‍♀️🩸

As this month’s theme is “Periods Shouldn’t Be a Barrier,” we focus on Kiran Gandhi’s contribution to breaking barriers and challenging the silence surrounding menstruation.

By openly running a 26.2-mile marathon while on her period, she challenged social expectations around menstruation and encouraged people to talk about periods without shame or embarrassment.

She chose not to wear menstrual protection and used the experience to open up discussions about the challenges faced by people who lack access to menstrual products.

Her story helped highlight menstruation as a natural bodily process, rather than something dirty or embarrassing.

Her story is more than a marathon. 🩷

Let’s Talk About Periods! 🩸✨

Periods are a natural part of life, yet they’re still surrounded by silence, stigma and so many questions. During our pads distribution, we took the opportunity to hear different perspectives, experiences and thoughts about periods. 💬💗

Because talking about menstruation helps create understanding, break the stigma and remind us that there’s nothing shameful about periods. 🌸

Let’s keep the conversation going.
Let’s talk, listen, learn and support one another. 🫶🏻

And you? What’s one thing you wish people knew more about periods? 💭🩸
