Silicon Central Mall, Dubai's leading shopping and lifestyle destination, is proud to announce the launch of a comprehensive mental health awareness campaign as part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives. This pioneering campaign aims to improve mental wellbeing, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and create a supportive community environment.
Silicon Mall is the first mall in the UAE to launch this initiative. By promoting mental wellness, the mall aims to improve individual morale and productivity while creating a positive impact on society. Educating the public about mental health issues reduces stigma, encourages open conversation, and creates a supportive environment where people feel comfortable seeking help.
Shirazul Khan, Head of Silicon Central Mall, said: “Promoting mental awareness is critical to human well-being, which in turn boosts morale and productivity. This company provides the necessary resources, support and training to make communities healthier. We aim to make a lasting impact through our CSR initiatives.”
Current activities and cooperation
As part of the campaign, Silicon Central Mall has partnered with prominent mental health advocates, including Fakeeh University Hospital and Life Medical Center. These partnerships provide expert guidance and support for company events such as educational workshops and seminars: providing valuable information and insight on a variety of mental health topics; awareness campaigns: spreading awareness about mental health issues through various channels; support and counseling groups: offering support and counseling to those in need; and fitness and wellness programs: promoting overall well-being through fitness and wellness activities.
This month, Silicon Central Mall is excited to introduce an outdoor psychiatry, 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 such a CSR initiative. Our goal is to create a supportive community that prioritizes mental health and wellness,” Khan added.
