In Mauritius, unfortunately, there is still a stigma around mental health - talking about it or seeking help. Students facing, or who have loved ones who have mental health issues do not know how to have conversations about mental health, do not know enough about mental health and do not know where to seek help, which exacerbates the issue and prolongs the stigma. This project aims to break this stigma and allow for honest conversations around mental health.

We hope to break this stigma and create awareness through the organisation of a series of talks around different university campuses in Mauritius with various mental health professionals and organisations sharing knowledge and answering questions students may have related to mental health.

Additionally, to spread awareness, we will create a social media campaign disseminating information about mental health as well as advertising the talks themselves.
