Dubai’s leading shopping and lifestyle destination, Silicon Central Mall, is proud to launch a comprehensive mental health awareness campaign as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative. This pioneering campaign aims to promote mental wellbeing, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, and create a supportive community environment.
Silicon Mall is the first mall in the UAE to launch this initiative. The mall aims to create a positive community impact while improving individual morale and productivity by championing mental wellbeing. Educating the public about mental health issues reduces stigma, encourages open dialogue, and creates a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking help.
“Promoting mental awareness is critical to human well-being, which in turn improves morale and productivity,” said Sirajul Khan, Manager, Silicon Central Mall. “This campaign provides the resources, support and education needed to lead to a healthier community. We are committed to making a lasting impact through our CSR initiatives.”
Ongoing activities and collaborations
As part of the campaign, Silicon Central Mall has partnered with renowned mental health advocates including Fakeeh University Hospital and Life Medical Centre. These collaborations provide expert guidance and support for campaign activities such as educational workshops and seminars; providing valuable information and insights on various mental health topics; Awareness Campaign: Spreading awareness of mental health issues through various channels; Support Groups and Counselling: Providing support and counselling sessions to those in need; Physical Fitness and Wellness Program: Promoting overall wellbeing through fitness and wellness activities.
This month at Silicon Central Mall, we are excited to introduce Open Minds, a psychiatry, counseling and neuroscience center located within the mall.
This new service will provide customers with easy access to professional mental health services in a convenient and accessible location.
“We are proud to be the first mall to launch this type of CSR initiative. Our goal is to create a supportive community that prioritizes mental health and wellbeing,” Khan added.
