2. Attend a mental health workshop by KLPAC

When: 21 August, 10am to 4pm

Where: Zoom

Price: RM50 (half-price for students)

In light of the heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and depression that students are facing during the pandemic—which mirrors the general sentiment of the public—Taylor’s University has teamed up with The Actors Studio Academy @ klpac to offer a mental health workshop. It’s titled “S.O.S! Merging Psychological and Dramatic Techniques To Manage Mental Health Issues’” and will form part of klpac’s #savetheheart campaign.

The workshop will include insights on how to identify emotional and mental stress, along with simple exercises that are used in performing arts to help cope with negative feelings and better express oneself. Proceeds from the workshop will go towards the Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund to help keep klpac afloat over the prolonged lockdown.

Those interested to join the workshop may register here.
