The isolation brought upon ourselves and our communities due to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a loss in interconnectivity, resulting in a significant rise of mental health related stigmas. High school junior, Threya Sakshi, speaks about the importance of regaining interconnectivity through sharing her personal experiences and her "Three-Step-Plan" to decrease mental health related stigmas in any given community.
Threya Sakshi is a high school student, a mental health advocate, a researcher, and a public speaker. Having seen the devastating effects of lack of mental wellbeing, she developed a strong aspiration to make an impact on the landscape of mental health. She has taken on several projects including writing op-eds on mental health related topics and giving a TEDx Talk in 2020 on “self-contentment”. Her goal is to inspire others to reduce stigmas in their individual communities, as well as spread awareness on mental wellbeing globally. In this talk, she will be sharing her personal experiences that led to the development of her “Three-Step-Plan”, an easily applicable strategy to decrease stigmas in any community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
