MHAYA Initiatives
MHAYA has presented awareness sessions to local sports clubs, and held a stand at the NAMI Mercer National Walk, 2023. We plan on arranging further sessions with local schools, and organizing fun walks as well as fundraisers to generate interest and recognition on the topic of mental health amongst young athletes.
We will also conduct interviews and meetings with the MHAYA community to spread awareness and educate young athletes about this topic.
