The convener Dr. Maymunah Kadiri has this to say, “Going to see a therapist should be just as easy as going to see a dentist. Our perception of seeking mental wellness should move from remedial to preventive. When we normalize seeking help for mental issues, we help those suffering to seek help rather than turn to suicide”.
Date: October 21st – 25th 2019.
Registration is FREE but compulsory.
It is a virtual summit so you can watch from the comfort of your home/office.
