An opportunity for teenagers to come together and talk about mental health. We hope to create an environment where no one is judged, dismissed or told what to do. Young people will come together and strategise on what needs to be done at a family, school and cultural level to make society more supportive and sensitive to the stresses faced by teenagers today.

Happy New Year to everyone! With the holiday and wedding season coming to an end, it is a perfect time to get the focus back on healthy eating and lifestyle choices, necessitated by it. Does that mean starving yourself? Becoming obsessive about your calorie intake? Watching yoga reels and thinking of starting it from next Monday? Well, why don’t you join us on January 19, 2023 in the curated conversation with Samia Chundrigar on Eating Disorders and what it takes to make healthy food choices and lifestyle changes. Come one, come all - come with your friends and family, it always helps when you are surrounded by people who understand your challenges. If you are a worried parent concerned about your children’s eating choices, do bring them along. Everyone can engage in these conversations, open for young and old alike.

We at Sabeen Mahmud Foundation (proposed) are hosting a series of discussions on mental health challenges that are affecting young people today.

Do you ever wonder how to help a friend or loved one who is struggling with emotional issues? Do you wish you knew what to do when you feel overwhelmed with stress or anxiety? Are you confused about the difference between a psychiatrist, a therapist, and a counselor? This is your opportunity to ask these or any other questions you might have about mental and emotional health concerns to a panel of professionally trained experts who will be sharing their insights and experiences. Students can participate in the interactive session and will also have the chance to submit their questions anonymously in writing.

This event is the start of a broader mission to create safe spaces for young people – to share their mental health journey, and to contribute to discussions on how they can be better supported in this journey.
