Glossophobia, otherwise known as the fear of public speaking, is an issue many people experience in their social and professional lives.


Whispers of Serenity Clinic for Mental Wellness recognises the fear and anxiety which accompanies speaking in front of a large and often unfamiliar crowd, and has thus organised a 2-day workshop on August 22 and 29, 2017 titled ‘Where has my voice gone?’


This is the second workshop of the clinic’s recently launched summer programme ‘Let’s Talk’, which launched its first workshop ‘I am a bride’ last month.


Mental health problems are a growing public health concern. Lack of support for people with mental health disorders, coupled with a fear of stigma, prevent many from accessing the treatment the need to live, healthy, productive lives.


This year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) chose ‘Depression: Let’s talk’ as its annual theme, reiterating the fact that the lack of communication and expression surrounding mental health topics is a global issue.
