Exploring the Importance of Mental Health at the UAE University’s Mental Health Forum

Al Ain: Under the slogan “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right,” the United Arab Emirates University organized the Mental Health Forum, which comes in response to the emphasis on the growing importance of community awareness about psychological issues and continued attention to them. The forum was attended by a group of experts and specialists to discuss multiple topics related to mental health.

The forum included specialized sessions in the field of mental health, where Dr. Adel Karrani, consultant psychiatrist at the American Psychiatric and Neurological Center, discussed the issue of the quality and standards of psychological care in the UAE. In the second topic, Dr. Hussein Al Masih, expert in the development and social care sector at the Community Development Authority in Dubai, presented an overview of the professional ethics of workers in the field of mental health.

While Dr. Aram Hassan, Consultant in Psychiatry and Trauma at the American Psychiatric and Neurological Center, referred in the third axis to the issue of social stigma and its impact on the individual and society. Dr. Muhammad Al-Badaie, psychiatry specialist in the fourth axis, highlighted the rights of psychiatric patients and the extent of health institutions’ commitment to them. Dr. Mervat Amin, a lecturer in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, raised the topic of promoting mental health and well-being of individuals.

As part of the forum’s activities, the “Mental Health Exhibition 2023” witnessed the participation of several parties from inside and outside the university, including Al Qattara Arts Center and psychology students from the UAE University, who presented projects and activities aimed at increasing awareness of mental health topics.
