Millennium Fellowship Project: Your Depression Hotline!

Depression has been a bane in my student community. It has grossly affected the mental health of students, leading to a decline in academic performance and is negatively impacting the learning process for students as a whole.
My project aims to curb the effects of depression - especially self harm, suicide and ills such as smoking, substance abuse and drinking associated with depression. This will further improve the learning process of students in the school environment by improving their mental health and promoting SDG 3 - Good health and well-being.
My project, ‘Your Depression Hotline’ aims to accomplish this goal in various ways. An awareness campaign would be organized and the student community of my campus will be sensitized and enlightened on practical ways of dealing with depression that does not culminate in self harm.
Students will be encouraged to share their depression stories with us and the student community. Some of these stories will be shared publicly and anonymously in the school paper, department magazines/social media handles and other forms of media as well. The aim is to create a kindred spirit among students going through depression; to help them realize that we might feel lonely but we are never alone in our depression stories.

About the Millennium Fellow

Ezekiel Stephen is a brilliant, young and inquisitive pharmaceutical student at the Delta State University, Nigeria. He was born in kwara state but resides mainly in Delta state,Nigeria. Since he started gaining knowledge about the world, he had a unique passion of being inquisitive and questions everything he's being told. This drive had made him develop a kind of compassion towards those having depression and was one of the reasons he joined outreach fighting against depression. Throughout his years I'm high-school, he's participated in many programmes and webinars. Currently, he's a member of the MCN, and plans to use it as a platform to learn and to be able to help a larger audience.
