Mental Health Awareness Week
From 22nd to 26th September, AFEEL DP1 students carried out their first CAS service project by organizing a Mental Health Awareness Week.
The week began with a talk show in the school assembly, where the students sensitized the community about the importance of mental health. They emphasized that mental well-being is as normal and vital as physical health, and that talking about it should never be considered a taboo.
They also highlighted the role of self-love, talents, and passions in building resilience against mental health challenges. To bring this message closer to their peers, students recited poems written by members of the cohort, adding creativity and a personal touch to the awareness campaign.
On the final day, the students presented a play scripted by one of their peers, dramatizing the struggles many young people face. The performance illustrated how a student’s mental health can be affected, and more importantly, how the school community can respond with understanding, support, and care.
The message shared throughout the week was powerful and clear: silence around mental health must be broken, and support must be extended by the community. Just as physical health is prioritized, the mental well-being of students should be nurtured and protected with equal care.
