On October 13th, the Oriental Hotel Ballroom in Victoria Island will host the highly anticipated Mental Health Conference, centered on the theme of “Identity.”
Now in its second edition, this event aims to create a safe platform for individuals, professionals, and advocates to explore the complexities of identity and self-perception.

Key discussions will address significant issues, including identity crises, the impact of trauma on self-perception, and the intersectionality of identity in a multicultural society. Attendees can participate in interactive sessions designed to help them confront limiting beliefs and redefine their sense of self.
Dr. Maymunah Yusuf-Kadiri, a renowned psychiatrist and the conference convener, emphasizes that understanding one’s identity is crucial for mental health, as it fosters growth and resilience. With a diverse lineup of speakers, including mental health professionals and advocates, the conference promises to be inclusive and accessible, offering both physical and virtual attendance options.
