We are a group of students
studying the subject, Global Perspectives, in our O Levels curriculum.
A part of this subject requires
the students to work on a team project, focusing on the issues in their
localities. Our group, is working on the topic “Mental Health Awareness”. We
realized that there is a severe lack of proper awareness regarding this issue
in Pakistan. Not only that but there a stigma surrounding this issue in the
mind of the average Pakistani be it simply due to lack of awareness, mistrust of
professionals or religious reasons.
