Let’s focus on raising awareness about mental health

In collaboration with Hamad Medical Corporation’s Mental Health Service, Qatar National Library organised an interactive public event to celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month on May 21, 2023.. The event featured presentations and breakout sessions facilitated by experts, such as psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, pharmacologists, and other specialists, who shared their insights and strategies to promote positive change.
The symposium was open to the general public and provided an opportunity for individuals to enhance their understanding of mental health topics and gain valuable knowledge for responding compassionately to support those in need. The event also aimed to combat the stigma around mental health issues and encourage open discussions about mental well-being. Throughout the event, participants had multiple opportunities to interact with the experts, fostering a safe and inclusive environment. Qatar National Library’s dedication to providing an engaging and supportive space was highlighted by this event.
By collaborating with local partners like HMC’s Mental Health Service, Qatar National Library ensures that its services cater to the community’s diverse needs. This event represents a significant stride towards fostering a mentally healthy society and nurturing a culture of understanding and support.
