Akoto Victor, ORA Club's Organizing Secretary, thanked Wesonga Dericks for starting this program. Emma, founder of SIKI Youths, said she was happy to take part fully in this life-changing campaign.

What the Campaign Wants to Do

The briefing was given by ORA Club's Executive Director, Wesonga Dericks. He explained that the Namatter Mental Awareness Campaign is about mental health, which is often ignored.

"Everyone here, or someone close to them, has faced stress, anxiety, depression, or other mental challenges. Many did not know how to cope. This campaign is for you," he said.

The campaign wants to teach people about mental health, reduce fear and shame, and show ways to get help. It encourages talking about feelings and supporting each other.

Why Mental Health is Important

Mental health affects school, friendships, work, and physical health. Teaching young people about mental health helps them notice problems early and get help without fear.

This campaign is for everyone: students, parents, teachers, and community leaders. Learning about mental health helps build stronger and kinder communities.

Activities and Participation

The campaign includes workshops, group talks, peer support, and online programs. The goals are:

Teach young people to notice signs of mental stress
Encourage talking about feelings
Give support and resources

By joining, ORA Club members and SIKI Youths can help make a positive change in their communities.

The Role of Youth

Young people can make a big difference. By talking openly, teaching others, and showing healthy habits, they can reduce fear and shame about mental health.

Mental health is a team effort. Families, schools, and communities must work together to support each other.

How to Join

Here are easy ways to support mental health:

Talk about mental health with friends
Join workshops and events
Support friends who are struggling
Share correct information online

Just like a community works better when everyone helps, mental health improves when we all take part.

The Big Picture

Ora's Namatter Mental Awareness Campaign is more than a program. It is a movement to build a society that cares about mental health. By teaching young people, helping communities, and working together, the campaign wants to make sure no one faces mental health challenges alone.
