Understanding Mental Health and coping skills
Usmama delivered a talk on mental trauma discussing what it truly means, how it can affect individuals, and the importance of recognising its signs early.
We explored healthy coping strategies, the power of community support, and how empathy and open conversations can help in the healing process.
It was truly meaningful to engage with people, raise awareness, and remind everyone that mental wellbeing matters just as much as physical health.
