"Chat Hablemos de Todo" inicia campaña de difusión en UBB: salud mental

So, I just read this super interesting article called “Chat Hablemos de Todo” starts spreading awareness campaign on mental health at UBB. The article talks about a campaign that was launched at Universidad del Bio-Bio in Chile to raise awareness about mental health and promote help-seeking behaviors among students.

Basically, the campaign, which is called “Chat Hablemos de Todo” (which means “Let’s Talk About Everything” in Spanish), encourages students to speak up about their mental health struggles and seek support from peers and professionals. They have set up several informative talks, workshops, and online platforms to reach out to students and provide them with the necessary resources and tools to manage their mental health.

What I found particularly interesting about this campaign is that it’s based on a peer-to-peer support model, which means that students are encouraged to help each other and talk openly about their experiences. This is so important because, as someone who has struggled with mental health issues in the past, I know how isolating it can be when you feel like you’re the only one going through it. Having a community of people who understand what you’re going through and can offer support and advice can make a huge difference.

The article also highlights some of the challenges that the campaign is facing, such as the stigma surrounding mental health and the lack of resources and support systems within the university. However, the organizers are working hard to overcome these obstacles and make mental health a priority at UBB.

Overall, I think the “Chat Hablemos de Todo” campaign is a great initiative that could have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of UBB students. It’s important to raise awareness about mental health issues and promote help-seeking behaviors, and I hope that other universities and institutions will follow suit. Let’s talk about everything!
