My name is Ahmad Abu Rezq, a Kuwaiti medical student in RCSI. During the last two years that I have spent in Ireland, I recognized how Ireland is in the process of improving the healthcare and health awareness through several initiatives, such as Healthy Ireland initiative. That have inspired me to be more engaged and to learn more through participating in some of these initiatives and other events that can raise awareness.
Mental health awarenss is one of the most important issues that we need to focus more on it. Several people suffers from depression and stress but they tend to hide their feelings. Some of them unfortunately ends up with suicide. For that reason, today , my group and me, have participated in harbour to harbour in order to help raising awareness of mental health and to show some support for those who are suffering alone.
