Leadership Vision
My leadership vision is to inspire optimism, action, and hope especially among the young generation to remind them that we can do it, we have to take action, and that we are the hope of a better, kinder, and healthier world in all aspects of life; both inwardly within ourself and externally towards the community and environment that we live in.
Project Description
COZ I’M HAPPY project is all about maximizing on young people's potential. The project focuses on creating spaces within 12 institutions of higher learning where young people can openly talk about their mental health and get counseling, advice and care from trained peers and institutional psychologists. We are doing this actively through training of mental health advocates, formation or integration of mental health in clubs, and strengthening institutional policies on mental health.
