Silicon Central Mall, Dubai's leading shopping and lifestyle destination, is proud to announce the launch of a comprehensive mental health campaign as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative. This ground-breaking campaign aims to promote mental wellbeing, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and promote a supportive community environment.
Silicon Mall is the first mall in the UAE to launch this initiative. By advocating mental well-being, the mall seeks to improve individual morale and productivity, while creating a positive impact on society. Educating the public about mental health issues reduces stigma, encourages open conversations, and fosters a supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking help.
Shirazul Khan, Silicon Central Mall Manager, said: “Promoting mental awareness is essential to a person's well-being, which in turn increases their morale and productivity. This campaign provides the necessary resources, support and education to lead to healthier communities. We are dedicated 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 partnerships provide expert guidance and support for the campaign's activities, such as educational seminars and workshops: providing valuable information and insights on various mental health topics; awareness campaigns: spreading awareness of mental health issues through various channels; support groups and counselling: offer support and counseling sessions for those in need; and physical fitness and wellness programs: promotes general well-being through fitness and wellness activities.
This month, Silicon Central Mall is excited to introduce Open Minds, a psychiatric, counseling and neuroscience center located in the mall.
This new addition ensures that clients have easy access to professional mental health services in a convenient and accessible location.
“We are proud to be the first mall to initiate this kind of CSR initiative. Our goal is to create a supportive community that prioritizes mental health and wellness,” added Khan.
