MOVE- Mental Health Awareness Session at Thebes Integrated International School

1 Nov 2022

Mental health problems especially among children and teenagers have tremendously increased in the last few years. Their negative impact is underestimated by many.  It is therefore extremely important to raise mental health awareness in schools.

To that end, Pharmacy students who are members of the MOVE club conducted an awareness session to middle school students at Thebes Integrated International School on Monday, October 24, 2022. Students who attended were from the school three branches: National School (ITIS), British School (CBS), and American School (ITACC). Through interactive presentations, videos, role-playing and a Q&A panel, the session focus was on depression, anxiety disorders, and panic attacks.
