Experience
-
Shamiri Institute
Shamiri Fellow - January - August 2024 -
Through the Shamiri program, I actively supported youth mental health wellness by facilitating evidence-based interventions aimed at fostering resilience and emotional well-being. My role involved leading group discussions, guiding participants through techniques such as gratitude exercises, goal-setting, and problem-solving strategies, and creating a safe space for open sharing. By building trust and adapting my communication style to encourage participation, I helped participants better understand their emotions, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and set meaningful personal goals. Many reported improved self-confidence and reduced stress, which reinforced the impact of my work. This experience honed my facilitation, communication, and problem-solving skills while deepening my passion for youth empowerment and mental health advocacy.
