We want to destigmatize mental health issues and show that you are not alone and whatever you are dealing with is totally real and valid. The goal of this event will be to provide a safe space for people to open up about their mental health, talk to each other, laugh, cry, give advice, pretty much anything you feel like doing.
We will provide this safe space in the form of a room (mental health safezone) where people can talk to each other without judgment, and our volunteers will also be found around the building holding signs that say “mental health problems are not weaknesses” and similar texts. In the safezone room we will also provide an exercise called “Mirror confession” where people stand in front of a covered mirror which is then revealed and they can tell what they see.
