Topic: Mental Health Awareness and Support in Primary Care

Rationale: I am passionate and strongly believe in the importance of raising awareness about mental health and the accessibility of support for those struggling with mental health issues. Mental health plays a role a vital role in our overall well-being but unfortunately is often stigmatized and overlooked. By incorporating health awareness and support into primary care settings we can break down those barriers and ensure early intervention to those in need. Given the increasing prevalence of health conditions addressing them in a primary care setting can result in better outcomes for patients’ lower healthcare costs and a more holistic approach, to overall healthcare.
