The Medical Law Club (MLC) in collaboration with CHELD conducted a mental health awareness outreach in celebration of World Mental Health Awareness Month and European Mental Health Week. The outreach, which took place across the University of Ilorin campus, featured an awareness walk, interactive discussions, educational engagements, and direct referrals to the Centre for Health Ethics Law and Development (CHELD) and the
Unilorin Counselling and Human Development Centre (UCHDC). Students across various faculties were interviewed and sensitized, with around 30 volunteers spearheading the initiative.
The outreach aimed to humanize conversations around mental health, reduce stigma, raise awareness, and educate students on available mental health support structures.
