Ultimately, we want to answer: "How can I take care on my own mental health better? How do I accommodate others better, i.e through technology?" TECH TARIK fosters respectful, yet no-holds-barred discussion on subject matter.Allow us to share my motivation in planning for this public sharing. We have a few close friends, whom we have thought to be strong and steadfast, fell into mental pit after specific incidents. When asking ourselves, what else we can do to support the people that matters, we were truly at a loss. Many publication and experts point to convincing friends or families to seek help as soon as they can. In our research to find answers, we came across many technological help, such as meditation app or mental wellness app. Growing up, several of us are instilled the values of self-sufficiency and seeking help seems to be a last-resort way. We would like to think that there are many individuals out there who also subscribe to this belief who are holding capacity as mentor, parents or emotional pillars of support. We would like this sharing to analyse if technology can help in the upkeep of mental well-being and also other intersection between mental health and technology, a bridge before seeking professional help, or is technology compatible with mental wellness in the first place.Due to limited space available, kindly express your interest and get your tickets soon. It would help us reduce food waste too, as we can cater to exact size of audience. Soak in the knowledge in 'Central'-ly located area.
