IMU hosted its first public conference focusing on society, adults and youth. The OUR S.A.Y. (Society, Adults, Youth) Conference 2019, organised by IMU’s Department of Psychology, IMU Psychology Club, and IMU Community Engagement also known as IMU Cares, was carried out in partnership with the Dignity for Children Foundation. By and large, the event was said to be the answer to the call of the nation in addressing the mental health of our youth. Themed “Youths’ Mental Well-being: Dare to Be Aware”, the conference raised four major issues faced by today’s youth – depression and anxiety; cyber-bullying and bullying; substance abuse and addiction; and healthy relationships and harm reduction.
