Nadia Sheikh knows that just saying “mental health is important” is not enough to help anyone including ourselves. Nadia shares her journey of developing mental health kits aimed specifically to help people be mindful and to work on their mental health. You can follow along with the audience as they go through an exercise to be mindful and to reconnect to the present. Nadia Sheikh is an undergraduate at the University of Delaware. Her passions stem from curiosity about the mind and just how complicated it is. She is also an advocate for mental health in her community by committing to research and clinical work within the psychological field. Nadia is the Volunteer Coordinator of Chalkboard Charities, a local Delaware non-profit dedicated to providing medical education to underserved communities. She hopes her talk inspires others to focus on their mental health and to advocate for others through the power of not only words but action. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
