The informative and interactive event, hosted at the Fusion Plaza in Wuye District, featured a diverse range of speakers who shared their expertise on various aspects of mental health.

The senior vice chairman/Editor-In-Chief of LEADERSHIP Newspaper, Mr Azubuike Ishiekwene, who was chairman of the occasion, set the tone for the day by explaining the objectives of safe spaces. He emphasised that safe spaces have gained a global resonance and have become an essential subject.

The convener, Miss Ngozi Ibe, explained that Safe Space is not just a physical environment but an emotional and psychological one where individuals feel accepted, supported, and understood.

In a keynote address titled “Creating Your Own Safe Space”, the lead speaker, Mrs. Frances Uchenna Okeke, highlighted the critical importance of self-care, stressing that mental well-being starts with intentional efforts to take care of ourselves. She urged attendees to prioritise their mental health by recognising personal limits, taking breaks when needed, and setting healthy boundaries.
