Millennium Fellowship Project: Wellness Over Weakness Initiative
Wellness Over Weakness Initiative is a group project dedicated to strengthening mental health and addressing substance-related challenges, while contributing meaningfully to the achievement of SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being). It focuses on tackling issues such as drug addiction and other mental health struggles that affect millions globally. The project aims to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage individuals to seek help by connecting them to free therapy and counseling services. Through education, advocacy, and support, Wellness Over Weakness Initiative empowers people to prioritize their mental well-being and build resilience against life’s challenges.
During the Millennium Fellowship period, we aim to organize at least one outreach program on campus or at a local high school. This program will focus on educating students about mental health and substance use, while also encouraging them to seek professional help when needed. Our goal is to directly engage a minimum of 50 participants through these sessions, creating awareness, reducing stigma, and guiding individuals toward available support services.
