Mental health issues do not make you any less of a person.
Community awareness
WHY MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS IS IMPORTANT?
Mental Health Awareness helps people recognize the ways mental illness impacts their lives, educates people about available services, and highlights ways to advocate—even if they don't have a mental illness.
Recognition and education are important ways to remove the stigma associated with mental illness. Mental Health Awareness creates a time and space to start a conversation. Talking openly about mental health can reduce the misconceptions and stigma, and can encourage those who are suffering to seek help and find a support network.
It's important for caregivers, friends, and loved ones to understand the impact that mental health has on daily life. When people are better educated on these conditions, they can better support and help someone dealing with a mental health issue.
How we do it?
Nivaan Clinic has been actively working on creating awareness for mental health issues by conducting various seminars and lectures at different places.
Other than that we have been conducting Suicide prevention awareness program from 2022 at different places on World Suicide Prevention Day (10th September).
