We think that mental health awareness is a big part of our community, that sadly doesn’t get as much attention. As humans we all have our own personal challenges and struggles that we don’t show. We tend to hide our feelings and emotions and bottle it all up. Depending on what one’s personality is, each person has their own way of dealing with their crisis. However, one thing we as a community can offer to each other is love and support. As simple as a smile could make a difference in someone’s life.
We are Danah Ammar and Alyaa Aldokhi, FYmed students in RCSI participating in the Harbour2harbour walk in order to raise awareness for mental-health illness. We’d like to convey a message that says, “ you’re not alone”. We feel that with age you come to discover the importance of being there for each other. By providing a chance to celebrate accomplishments and milestones towards the path of positive thinking, gives people that are suffering with mental health, HOPE!
