Addressing Mental Health for Women, with Women
In a joint effort to promote mental health awareness and gender equality, UPLIFT and Sheroes.my organised two insightful online mental health talks in 2023.
Talk 1: How to Develop a Growth Mindset
On 11th January 2023, Nur Farisya led the first session titled "How to Develop a Growth Mindset". This talk provided practical strategies on cultivating a positive mental attitude, emphasising resilience and continuous personal development.
Talk 2: How Do Women’s Hormones Affect Mental Health
Held on 8th March 2023, in honour of International Women’s Day, Farah Mazuini addressed the topic "How Do Women’s Hormones Affect Mental Health". The session explored the complex relationship between hormonal changes and mental well-being, offering insights into how hormonal imbalances can impact emotional health.
Why Do We Care?
Women face unique mental health challenges, often influenced by hormonal fluctuations related to menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. These talks aimed to bridge the gender gap in mental health discussions, highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing these issues.
Promoting mental health awareness, particularly for women, is essential in the ongoing fight for gender equality. Initiatives like these not only educate but also empower individuals to seek help and provide support to those in need. By creating these open discussions, UPLIFT and Sheroes.my are playing a vital role in pushing the importance of mental health for it to become a key part of gender equality efforts.
Through these talks, both organisations are working to remove the stigma around mental health and create inclusive spaces for learning and growth.
