" Advocating for mental health is what motivates my work. Being a part of Millennium Fellowship will help expand my horizons and drive my vision that ''together, we can all change the world's views on mental health'''.
I am excited to be a part of this and to learn more examplary ways to carry this out. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: For The Mind
My project is about improving the mental health of people and students in particular. Depression and mental health in general is a topic that is often neglected as pushed aside as people tend to shy from accepting it. I want to make it easier for people to talk about the day to day problems they go through without shame and reproach.
