Millennium Fellowship Project: LifeReady
This project aims to psychoeducate students, especially from underserved communities, while teaching essential life skills to help them cope with challenges in the future. I independently designed and conducted interactive workshops on communication, emotional intelligence, and mental health awareness, creating engaging sessions that encourage open discussion and practical learning. So far, over 25 students have participated in detailed awareness sessions on psychological disorders, gaining understanding, reducing stigma, and developing empathy. This marks a key milestone in LifeReady’s mission to empower youth with skills for personal growth and social inclusion.
