Grants:Wikimedia UG Nigeria Grants/Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund/Mindful Voices: Leveraging Wikimedia to Foster mental understanding by WUGN Kaduna Network

Project summary

Briefly summarize your project proposal.

This Campaign is aim to reduce the stigma around mental health issues and promote resources for a better understanding for mental wellbeing. Wikidata items to be created would include informative articles, to help educate others leading to a better understanding of mental health issues and while on wiki Quotes contributors will share remedies quoted by doctors on mental issues, it will creates a sense of community. It shows others that they are not alone in their struggles, which can make it easier for people to talk about mental health openly.
Finally, having a variety of voices and experiences represented in discussions about mental health on this Wikimedia campaign can help promote a more inclusive view of this issue. Overall, these efforts can significantly help change how people perceive mental health and reduce the stigma surrounding it. However, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Kaduna network will collaborate with mental health doctors to educate participants on the topic better during physical meetup.

Strong support This project would create more inclusion among the community leadership and to create partnership with the health community. I believe that at the end of this project, we'll have more membership from the Tyap Wikimedians Community joining forces to push the network activities to the next level. I look forward to event proper. Thanks! Friday musa (talk) 12:19, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
