Using our voices to make a difference

Aim

DPS Sharjah aims to have a club on campus that is open to all
students, where the focus is on raising awareness of mental health and wellness and on reducing stigma and discrimination against mental illness.

Our endeavour is to create a more accepting environment for students with a mental health condition or who have a family member or friends with mental health condition.
We would like to establish ourselves as a school that values the

mental wellness of our students and takes a proactive approach to early prevention and intervention of students in need of support.
Our focus is on awareness, education, and advocacy.
