NUR AFIQA AMANI AUGUST 2024 SENIA WORLD CHANGER AWARD RECIPIENT

Congratulations to Nur Afiqa Amani on being recognized for her impactful and inclusive project! Afiqa’s work demonstrates a deep commitment to supporting the wellbeing and mental health of all students, including those who are neurodivergent or hearing-impaired.

By founding the “It’s Okay” project, Afiqa has empowered her schoolmates to better communicate their emotions through the use of visuals and socioemotional learning strategies. This inclusive approach has enabled all students, regardless of their neurological or sensory differences, to actively participate and feel welcomed.

Afiqa’s inclusive mental health awareness week, featuring activities like art therapy, origami, nature walks, and social gatherings, has been particularly noteworthy. These research-backed initiatives have successfully engaged neurodivergent and disabled learners, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to explore mental health and wellness.

The community project grant awarded to Afiqa’s initiative is a testament to the significant impact and scalability of her work. By expanding the reach of this inclusive project, even more individuals will be able to benefit from Afiqa’s innovative and compassionate approach to promoting mental health and wellbeing.

Nur Afiqa Amani’s remarkable achievement in championing inclusive practices and destigmatizing mental health serves as an inspiration to us all. Her dedication to ensuring that all students have the resources and support they need to thrive is truly commendable.
