⭐️ WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Mental health and wellness have always been sensitive topics that many are unwilling to speak of. However, it has become more common than you may think, as studies suggest that mental health issues have increased significantly in many adults over the last decade. 

Paying attention to people around us is vital, mainly because it is not something one will necessarily be open to sharing. Therefore, many individuals who suffer from poor mental health are often neglected. However, it is important to identify any mental health issues you may be suffering from and effectively treat them. Why is mental wellness important, and why is it affected so many adults in our society? 

In this event, Mr S.B. Viknesan will provide you with the insights that you need to better understand how we can encourage more people to speak up about mental health in society.
