Mahira Khan Instagram – I am proud to come on board as one of the official ambassadors for the British Asian Trust @thebritishasiantrust for their work In South Asia. Even prouder, to be able to spread awareness about mental health with their campaign ‘Peace of Mind’ in Pakistan. In Pakistan 1 out of 4 people are suffering from some sort of mental health issue. Unfortunately even now mental health is a subject which is taboo and there are stigmas attached to it. Untreated mental health issues can have a devastating impact on individuals, families, lives and relationships. Talking more about mental health, breaking the stigma around it and helping more people access support is so important – so they can have peace of mind. No one should ever have to suffer in silence. I request you all to inform yourselves about mental health… whether it is about you or someone else who might be suffering, it is important to be aware and informed. In Pakistan, the Trust’s pioneering work in mental health has already reached 28 million people via SMS campaigns and social media activity. Over 46,000 people have attended mental health awareness raising sessions in their communities and been screened for mental health issues. Training has also been provided to 2,000 frontline health practitioners in basic mental health awareness. 💖🕊 Link in Bio for the ‘ Peace of Mind’ Campaign. Please do watch 🙏🏼
