Mental health has largely been a misunderstood concept, with various schools of thought on the matter.

Some view it as an excuse used by younger people, others think it’s just modern-day jargon, while some use it as a tool to avoid accountability.

It has also been proven that many people aren’t willing to go out of their way to learn about it because they believe they have a good grasp of their own mental well-being and they do not need external sources. 

About the Webinar

The webinar aims to address the critical issue of mental health stigma in Nigeria. With the guidance of a seasoned medical practitioner, the session will focus on fostering an open dialogue around mental health, dispelling common misconceptions, and promoting understanding and support within communities.

 

The discussion will provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions and the importance of creating an environment where these issues can be discussed without fear of judgment.
