The Students Welfare Club at Duxford College organized a crucial program titled “Speak Up, Reach Out” on September 12, 2023, as part of the initiative #MentalHealthMatters. The event aimed to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health issues, emphasizing the theme “Be Brave & Never Quit,” in recognition of September as Suicide Awareness Month.

Held at Visionarium, Duxford Edupark, the session featured insights from Dr. Shifna Umer, who engaged students in discussions about mental health, coping strategies, and the importance of seeking help. The program encouraged participants to share their experiences, foster open conversations, and promote a culture of support within the college community. Through this initiative, the Students Welfare Club aimed to empower students to prioritize their mental well-being and reach out for support when needed.
