Discussion points: - schools effect on mental health - social media's effect - expectations (academic, appearance, responsibilities) - stigma behind being suicidal - the reason behind the fear of asking for help - how we as a community can ease that fear and encourage seeking help - the limitation of available resources MHAE Website | https://mentalhealth.ae/ MHAE Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/mentalhealthae
