Millennium Fellowship Project: Mental Health Awareness
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability while suicide is the second leading
cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two
decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.
The project made people aware and recognise that our psychological
well-being is an important part of our health, happiness, and productivity.
An outreach was held in two different secondary schools to increase understanding of mental health, reduce stigma and curb the high rate of depression and suicide among secondary school students.
