awareness walk

Mental Health Awareness Campaign (10th October, 2024)

An awareness walk was organized from Johnson Jakande Tinubu Park, to Allen Avenue, and back to mark Mental Health Awareness Month. The initiative brought together volunteers and community members to raise awareness about mental health, challenge stigma, and promote open conversations around emotional wellbeing. Throughout the walk, participants engaged the public with advocacy messages and shared information on the importance of mental health, early recognition of symptoms, and seeking timely support.

The campaign significantly improved community awareness and understanding of mental health issues, while helping to reduce stigma associated with mental illness. It encouraged more open dialogue around emotional wellbeing, and inspired individuals to be more supportive and receptive toward those experiencing mental health challenges. Overall, the initiative strengthened public engagement and reinforced the importance of continuous mental health advocacy within the community.
