TABOO “let’s talk about it”

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT:

Youth Point

• The aim of the project is to reduce the stigma that
comes with speaking openly about mental health and
psychological problems. It is also to help people
recognize and become more self-aware and aware of
individuals that may be suffering with psychological
problems. Encouraging them not to be afraid to get help.

• The project will organize forums to give the opportunity to
discuss various causes of suicide and how to deal with
them. The forums will include youth suicide hotline
representatives, psychologists, practitioners and
prominent people to speak on this topic.

Since the beginning of 2019, it has been requested that this program be allowed to be used as an elective part of education at VDU.
