Millennium Fellowship Project: THE SAFEMIND INITIATIVE
Mental Health Advocacy and Awareness is a project focused on promoting mental health education among secondary school students across Osun State. The initiative empowers students with knowledge and practical strategies to support their mental well-being. During implementation, the project successfully reached its initial goals, providing students with tools to understand and care for their mental health. Additional resources are needed to expand outreach and reach more schools across the state.
