In a moment, a single word can save a life. Have you ever thought about the impact a kind word or a gentle touch can have? For someone facing a whirlwind of pressures and fears, this moment can make a significant difference.
In the face of everyday challenges, the team at the Student Activities Pathway took the initiative to guide our youth toward a more stable horizon by organizing a session titled "Psychological First Aid." It wasn’t just an ordinary workshop; it was an empowering experience that equipped students with the necessary skills, not only to cope with their own difficulties but also to support those around them in moments of need.
The session began with thought-provoking questions: "What first aid can be provided to someone in distress?" This simple question sparked deep discussions among the students, encouraging them to reflect on how to handle crises they may face or those their loved ones may go through. The discussions prompted them to go beyond surface-level concerns and view psychological first aid as a practical and impactful tool.
The session provided a comprehensive approach to handling crises, which included:
These steps were presented in a practical way, equipping students with clear tools they could apply in their daily lives.
Thanks to this experience, our students are now more aware and better prepared to support one another. They understand that each one of them can be the hand that reaches out to help others in moments of weakness.
None of these achievements would have been possible without your support. You are the force that makes such projects possible, and you are the reason behind the positive impact we see in the lives of our youth. With your support, we are helping to build a stronger future and offering everyone facing a crisis a new chance at life.
Together, we create change.
