Elevate: Promoting Mental Well-being Among Students

The "Youth Enhancement Training for Students" program, organized by the Department of Psychology at Assabah Arts and Science College, was a proactive initiative aimed at promoting mental well-being among students. Held on July 10, 2023, at 10:00 AM in the college's conference hall and sponsored by the Trust Centre for Mindfulness, the program sought to address the rising concerns regarding mental health challenges faced by youth. By providing students with essential skills and resources to enhance their mental well-being and cope with stressors effectively, the program aimed to create a supportive and stigma-free environment for discussing mental health issues. Through workshops, discussions, and awareness-raising activities, students were equipped with tools and strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. The program yielded positive outcomes, including increased awareness, improved coping skills, and reduced stigma surrounding seeking help for mental health issues. Moving forward, recommendations include expanding the program's reach, offering ongoing mental health support, integrating mental health education into the curriculum, and exploring additional resources to provide continuous support to students. Overall, this initiative underscores the college's commitment to prioritizing mental health and well-being among its student body.
