Breaking the Silence: Mental Health Among Students 🎙️

Today I published a podcast that dives into the reality of mental health among students. Many young people are dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression, but it’s often difficult to talk openly about these struggles.

In the podcast, I explore why it’s hard for students to speak up, and what can be done to create safe and supportive spaces for them to cope and heal. You’ll also hear some shared views and experiences that highlight the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health.

If you’re a student, parent, or educator, this episode is for you. Let’s start the conversation and support one another.

Journalism allows me to bring important issues to light and bring voice to voiceless. My hobby is writing poetry .The art of crafting words has a profound impact on my writing as a journalist. My first semester as a student of TUT was challenging yet rewarding experience .I also realize that first semester is like a trial by fire ,you're thrown into the deep end but somehow you manage to swim .From day one the lectures fast paced ,the assignments are demanding and the deadlines are unforgiving.
