Focus International Qatar Region, a youth organisation, has launched a mental health campaign titled 'Don't Lose Hope' . CEO Haris P T inaugurated the event through Focus Qatar YouTube Channel. He said a number of events will be held during the three-month campaign, which runs until April 1.
A new study shows that the number of people suffering from mental disorders is increasing, especially in the light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Pointing out that the living conditions of the Covid era are mentally debilitating, Haris hoped that the campaign would help to identify those requiring support.
