Last month, October 2024, we witnessed pure debate magic! To commemorate World Mental Health Day 2024, the Student Advocacy Network (STAN) in the University of Lagos(UNILAG) and Federal Univesity of Technology, Owerri(FUTO) hosted an epic school debate in both Lagos and Imo State, with 8 schools going head-to-head on a powerful topic: “Addressing Workplace Mental Health is More Important than Increasing Salary.” The energy the student brought? Unmatched. The insights? Eye-opening👏🏽. These young minds didn’t just bring their A-game; they redefined it. The passion, knowledge, and mental health awareness they shared were incredible to watch and even better to learn from! A big shoutout to UNILAG and FUTO STAN and all our phenomenal student debaters! Together, we are building a future that prioritizes mental health in the workplace. #MentalHealthMatters #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #STANDebate

This year’s World Mental Health Day theme was “It is time to Prioritize mental health in the Workplace” and Yaba College of Technology’s Student Advocacy Network (YABATECH STAN) teamed up with the Counselling Unit to bring this crucial message to their lecturers and management!

Today, Student Advocacy Network (STAN) and MANI Community Advocacy Network (MANICAN) members are educating us on the right languages to use. The right language matters as it reduces the unconscious stereotypes that we may have around suicide #ChangeTheNarrative #SuicidePrevention #EndTheStigma

Having conversations around suicide can be difficult, which is why STAN members will be making video series to share tips on how to navigate these conversations #ChangeTheNarrative #SuicidePrevention #EndTheStigma

Yabatech College of Technology (YABATECH) Student Advocacy Network (STAN) teamed up with YABATECH Counseling Center for Suicide Prevention Day, and it was all about busting myths and reshaping the narrative around suicide awareness! STAN is here to bridge the gap on mental health and make mental health conversations the norm on campus. Let’s keep the dialogue going, challenge the stigma, and support one another every step of the way. #BTGMANI #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #BreakTheStigma
