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.
