The recent report by the Resolution Foundation paints a concerning picture – a trajectory heading in the wrong direction when it comes to mental health. Beyond a health concern, this issue emerges as a pressing social justice concern, threatening the future of our young people. 💡over half a million 18-24-year-olds were prescribed antidepressants 💊 in 21-22. Universities are now hotbeds for #mentalhealth issues. Our blog by Christiana Melam MBE, BSC, MSC, PGCERT, PHD Researcher explores the urgent need for an alternative narrative. #socialprescribing serves as an antidote. Read and share to raise awareness!

10moPlease stand by my side as the following happened to me: I was in debt, so I sold my small shop in the UAE - I received $15,800 from the buyer and paid off my debts with that amount. A full 6 months after the sale, the buyer filed a lawsuit to cancel the contract and get a refund, and obtained an unfair final judgment to return the $15,800. US dollars to the buyer, and to complete the injustice, the store did not return it to me despite the ruling to cancel the contract. I got involved because I paid my debts with the amount, and I had to leave my job and livelihood in the Emirates and leave because I did not have the ability to pay the amount. I hope that you will stand by me and pay the amount to the court treasury itself. These are the details of the case: Case No. 2012/26 Case type: commercial Al Ain Court of Appeal Please accept my regards Email: m4937789@gmail.com
