“One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart”
Adolescent mental health has been a passion space for Project Mumbai.
Our adolescent mental health initiative – #TheSmilingSchoolsProject, already in its second year, reaches out to approximately 10,000 adolescents across the #MumbaiMetropolitanRegion.
Since the lockdown has affected the #studentadolescentcommunity so much with all the #uncertainties around exams, school ending, beginning of college, searching for jobs/internships and navigating through one’s emotions, we thought it would help to have a mental health safe space for youth – a space where they can share their narratives as well as receive some primary level training in #peersupport and #mentalhealth, so that they can help themselves and their friends around.
With this in mind, we bring to you #youngmindsformentalhealth.
Project Mumbai will be facilitating this peer support initiative for adolescents (14 – 17) and young adults (18-21).
If you are in the above age groups and are interested in being part of such a peer support group do write in to us at info@projectmumbai.org with your age, contact details and reason for wanting to join the support group.
Kindly note:
- 1. It will require a commitment of 1 hour a week, across the months of June, July and August with a total of 10 hours.
- 2. We will be accepting 20-25 young minds in each age group on a first come first serve basis.
- 3. At the end of the 10 hour peer support and training, each person will receive a Certificate of Completion from Project Mumbai.
