The SHIELD Initiative is excited to announce its first public appearance launching in the Learning Planet Festival (2023). Our core values of CANOPY-building and youth initiative interconnect with those promoted by Learning Planet. Through the festival, SHIELD strives to shape its efforts under the narrative of social SDGs: 3) good health and well-being, 4) quality education, and 17) partnerships for the goals.
SHIELD focuses on applying statistics, research methodologies, and youth initiatives to further mental wellbeing among teens. We use art therapy to raise awareness of self-care in schools. The project is looking for partnerships to advance its impacts.
Join our online zoom workshop on January 28th, from 16:00-17:00 pm CET (10:00-11:00 am EST)!

Why is SHIELD even created?
In SHIELD, we make professional self-care and art therapy programs accessible to K6-12 students on their campus. We hope to make stress-related mental health issues recognized and effectively prevented, and to act against the shame around resting.
In this session, our founder Jiale will talk about the importance of art and mental health among youth, and how to incorporate the two objectives through the angle of data science. She will also share her own story and what inspired her to take on the role of promoting mental health.
We will be joined by 2 other Youth Advocates...
It is important to know what other actions are taken to promote mental health.
In this section, we will be joined by 2 other youth advocates: Ansh Dhot and Katherine Chong. The 3 speakers will talk about their own experiences with mental health, and what elements each of them incorporated into the path of campaigning. The panel is constructed to allow our audience to hear from diverse angles of perspectives and to inspire collaboration among youth.
The SHIELD Initiative on live!
Here we launch our project. In our final section, the SHIELD Initiative will mark its first official dispatch, and we will announce our Next KEY STEPS.
SHIELD is excited to inspire and connect with more advocates to expand its impact in the field of youth and mental health.
