"Manas Hub," a specialised centre dedicated to mental health and well-being, has been officially inaugurated in Kulhudhuffushi City.
The centre, an initiative of the Kulhudhuffushi City Council, was jointly inaugurated by Mayor Mohamed Athif and the Australian High Commissioner to the Maldives, David Jessup.
The facility aims to raise community-level awareness regarding mental health and work toward eliminating the social stigma surrounding mental illness. Additionally, the centre will facilitate early intervention and provide essential support and treatment for those in need of mental health services.
The City Council highlighted that the opening of Manas Hub marks a significant milestone in strengthening community-based mental health services within Kulhudhuffushi City.
The Council believes the centre will serve as a catalyst for building a resilient community that prioritises mental well-being and fosters mutual support. The hub is designed to reduce the challenges associated with seeking mental health treatment and ensure that assistance is easily accessible to the public.
