Case Study: Jummy

Jummy participated in a YV Cafe session focused on mental health, where they engaged in discussions about how mental health can impact individuals and explored various coping strategies. The session took place in an informal setting, with the support of a counselor, which encouraged open and meaningful conversations.

Reflecting on the experience Jummy shared:

"The main thing is what stigma is and how everyone has mental health issues, no matter what. I also learned different ways to cope."
