Silicon Central Mall, Dubai’s leading shopping and lifestyle destination, is proud to announce the launch of a comprehensive mental health awareness campaign as part of its corporate social responsibility programme. This pioneering campaign aims to promote mental well-being, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and foster a caring community environment.
Silicon Mall is the first mall in the UAE to launch this initiative, which aims to support mental wellbeing. The mall is committed to improving individual morale and performance, while also having a positive impact on the community. Educating the public about mental health issues helps reduce stigma, promote open conversations, and create a caring environment where people feel comfortable seeking help.
“Promoting mental awareness is essential for a person’s well-being, boosting morale and productivity,” said Shirasul Khan, General Manager of Silicon Central. “This campaign provides the resources, support and education needed to lead to healthier communities. We are committed to creating a lasting impact through our CSR programs.”
Ongoing activities and collaborations
Silicon Central Mall has partnered with renowned mental health advocates such as Fakeeh University Hospital and Life Medical Center as part of the campaign. These partnerships provide expert advice and support for campaign activities such as educational workshops and seminars, which provide valuable information and insights on various mental health topics; awareness campaigns, which spread awareness about mental health issues through various channels; support and counseling groups, which offer support and counseling sessions for those who need help; and fitness and wellness programs, which promote overall well-being through physical activity and wellness.
This month, Silicon Central Mall is excited to introduce Open Minds, a psychiatric, counseling and neurology center located within the mall.
This new addition provides clients with easy access to professional mental health services in a convenient and accessible location.
“We are proud to be the first mall to launch a CSR initiative of this kind. Our goal is to create a supportive community that prioritizes mental health and well-being,” Khan added.
