to ask concerning themselves or about others around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nursyahida asked participants to embrace themselves as the workshop continued, after finishing another sharing session among the participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the theme of the workshop, especially when compared to the typical workshop that usually focuses on dealing with mental health or detecting mental health problems,&nbsp;Hamiemah stated, \u0153Throughout the World Mental Health Week 2023 (held at HS square), we plastered an infographic poster regarding these topics where students can check for themselves.\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further added that the workshop was focusing more on equipping students with skills so that they could help anyone close to them who needed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, NGO Empati is on a road tour to establish empathy schools in all, if not most of the higher educational institutions to not only spread the word but also to help others.*** <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Irdina Zainudin GOMBAK, 25 October 2023: In collaboration with a non-governmental organization, Empati, the Secretariat of
