This April, the IDRAAC team was proud to participate in the first Beauty and Wellbeing Forum held at Forum de Beyrouth. Over four days, from April 18 to 21, our booth was all about mental health awareness, drawing in visitors with a lively exhibition of educational games and thoughtful giveaways designed to promote well-being and self-love.

Our booth offered more than just information; it was an interactive hub where visitors could engage in fun games that not only entertained but also imparted strong knowledge about mental health. Our team distributed a variety of items including stress balls, 'Mental Health Hero' stickers, creatively designed journals, pens, and piggy banks that encourage practices of self-love—each item thoughtfully chosen to connect with our message of mental wellness and self-care.

Since its establishment in 1982, IDRAAC has been at the forefront of mental health advocacy in Lebanon, and our participation in this forum was a continuation of our mission to educate and engage the community. The enthusiastic reception we received at our booth was heartening, as it reflected the growing awareness and importance of mental health in our society today.

This event allowed us to reach a wider audience, sharing insights and resources about mental health that are crucial during these challenging times. Our presence at the forum was a profound reminder of the importance of community in promoting wellbeing and the powerful role that awareness can play in changing lives.

We are grateful to all who visited and engaged with us, making this event a resounding success. Our journey continues, and we remain committed to breaking down the barriers to mental health awareness and treatment, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead a healthier, happier life.
