Mental Health Exhibition: It All Starts With Me (MMN x TUMS) was hosted on 8th October 2022 at Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. This event was curated with the intention of bringing together young adults (aged 16 to 25) and providing a platform to increase understanding and awareness of youth mental health with the theme ‘It All Starts With Me.’
This event featured a forum, a showcase, as well as an open booth! The forum was led by 3 key speakers, Dr Alvin Ng Lai Oon, Ms Evelyn Ngui, Dr Madiha Fuad who spoke on the topic, “The Science of Loving Yourself.” These esteemed professionals also shared on health and wellness as we adjust to life after the pandemic in relation to the theme “It All Starts With Me”.
The showcase encouraged participants to walk through the process of learning and understanding self-compassion fulfilled in the prior events (Letters to Myself, Art Therapy Experiential Workshop) and a storyboard of 3 characters, all relating to the event’s theme.
The open booths included various mental health organizations that facilitated mini-activities relating to the theme. 29 enthusiastic participants attended this mental health exhibition, and some gave us some amazing feedback too!
