I am a Masters student studying Counselling and Psychotherapy, who is very passionate about advocating for inclusive and local counselling services. To me, mental health advocacy is a way for people to connect and learn from one another, a way for people to nurture themselves in the purest form of loving possible—by loving themselves.

My project focuses on bringing professional counselling services to our people through coordination between local institutions and people of power. We will provide free psychoeducation, peer support group programs, accessible counselling services, as well as training for non-mental health specialists that are tailored to the needs of local people.
