About the Campaign
Mental health warrants critical priority and attention, particularly for children and young adults who are managing school and new obligations. To mark World Mental Health Day (10th October), FairGaze and i2u Social Foundation are coming together to encourage students to express their feelings, share their coping strategies, and advocate for mental well-being through creativity and performance.
The campaign is designed to support children in identifying their emotions, building resilience, and promoting awareness to end the stigma that surrounds mental health.
