I wish to start a project that combines mentorship and mental health advocacy for high school students in underprivileged high schools. Mental health is one of my many passions because I have also been impacted. Luckily, I was educated on the subject and was able to seek help. However, this option is not easily available to most people, especially those from underprivileged neighborhoods. Lack of information and conversations on mental health has made South Africa one of the countries with the most mental health issues. Many find themselves scared, confused, and alone without the support of family and friends because they too are unfamiliar with the problem and unfortunately, this is more prevalent in underprivileged societies. For those with the knowledge, seeking help becomes a problem because therapy is relatively expensive. Therefore, as aforementioned, this project will target pupils in underprivileged communities. I hope to start in one of the schools in Soweto, where I will meet with the students at least once a week. There, we will discuss our concerns, address mental health questions, offer advice and coping mechanism strategies, etc, and maybe someday, with enough resources to make this possible, we could have a qualified therapist to advise the pupils. Because this will also focus on mentorship, I will offer career advice, help with tertiary applications, as well as with study advice and needed materials, etc.
