World Mental Health Day…

On this World Mental Health Day, I am giving thanks for my experiences of raising mental health awareness in high schools and universities in the Middle East in Lebanon and Oman. Having put together the first two public events in Lebanon (and by extension the Middle East) produced exclusively by young people with mental illness, I have been very touched and inspired by the young and brave mental health advocates with whom I have worked. But there is more work to do and we are just getting starting — greater mental health awareness is sorely needed in Oman and beyond.
