MIND Trust with other stakeholders in mental health in collaboration
with Lagos State Ministry of Health, went on awareness walk form the
secretariat Alausa to the event place sensitizing the populace on how to
better care for the elderly as the theme for this year's World Mental
Health day is: Mental Health and Older Adults. Fliers where handed to passersby to further educate them.
The MIND Trust team and their medical student volunteer visited Christ the king Anglican church Ajegunle, on the 7th of November 2013. Dr Yewande Oshodi taught the older adults (still in the mood of celebrating the World Mental Health day) about memory loss, the right food to eat, the right exercises to do for people their age and that they should cultivate the habit of visiting their friends and also keep themselves busy. The older adults of the church were glad we came. Their blood pressure was checked by our medical students volunteer and screening of their mental well being was accessed to.
