Mental health is a serious issue which should be addressed more often, it includes the psychological wellbeing, emotional wellbeing and mental peace. Just like physical health we should pay attention to mental health.
Many factors have played the role in wosering the mental health of today’s generation, so many steps should be taken to improve ot as well, and the first step that’s very basic but important is to give awareness to people on this issue. Awareness helps people to know the causes, roots, issues, psychological problems and how to treat them. Another important function of awareness is to help people understand the factors that can cause mental distress so that they can refrain from them.
However for this sole purpose of giving awareness to people, Psychology department in University of Gujrat conducted the Mental health awareness exhibition.
Mental health awareness exhibition is an event this is organised to give awareness on mental health issue.
The exhibition included the panaflexes potraying different psychological disorders, chats, posters and 3d models of different phenomenas.
The panaflexes were huge and included the disorder’s discription, causes, symptoms and treatments.
The dean of social sciences was invited as the chief guest on the event by the Head of department of Psychology. He was warm welcomed when he joined and the event was exclusively started by the ribbon cutting ceremony by the dean of social sciences.
Then the dean was invited on the stage to give the speech on the current mental issues that our generation is facing. He highlighted the issue of Social Comparison, that how people on social media potray their lives and the comparison is built. Youth is in a constant race of comparing their lives with others and thus the mental peace is at the risk. His speech was beautiful and meaningful!
Then the dean visted the tables, that were decorated by the students on the specific awareness issue. The tables consisted of flowcharts, visual representation system, little boards etc.
The students from other departments were present there to get the awareness. They seemed quite interested in learning about the new mental states, they were questioning and gainging knowledge on the issues. With every table and panaflex the instructor was present to guide the visitors about the specific disorder that their panaflex was potraying.
Then, the event was finalised by the speech of head of department, she beautifully spoke on the importance of psychological wellbeing and mental peace.
Overll, it was an informative event and the main goal of this ebent was very productive, which included guiding the people on sensitive mental issues so that yheh can learn, how some things can affect the mental peace of others and thus transform the people into kind beings.
