SCOPH CIMSA UI just held it’s annual World Mental Health Day 2020 celebration with Project X: Deep Into You. Our theme this year is “Depression During Pandemic” which intended to encourages us to understand more about depression during this hard times. Our series of events began with online campaign by story Instagram for a week to give out general information about depression and mental health. We closed the online campaign week with Live Instagram Talkshow with the founder of Sehatmental.id, Ade Binarko. The talkshow was talking about “Self-Talk: Mengenali potensi dibalik kekurangan”. We proceed our events in collaboration with Departemen Ilmu Kesehatan Jiwa FKUI-RSCM and Teman Bicara FKUI for Peer Counselor Training, intended to introduce the general public with the presence of peer counselor and to enlighten people more about how to communicate and help your friends in a non-judgemental way. The Peer Counselor Training began with some Peer Counselor 101 course with dr. Feranindhya, Sp.KJ(K) and followed by peer counselor workshop by Teman Bicara FKUI in divided breakout rooms. There are many rooms for improvement for peer counselor training but it was a blast. Our events continued on with its climax event, “Mengenali Depresi di kala Pandemi ” Webinar, a week after Peer Counselor Training. We talked about “Kenali Depresi Lebih Dalam” and “Depresi dan Kecanduan” with dr. Profitasari, Sp.KJ(K) and Dr. dr. Kristiana Siste, Sp.KJ(K) from Departemen Ilmu Kesehatan Jiwa FKUI-RSCM and with dr. Leonita, alumnus from CIMSA UI as the moderator for 3 hours in total. This webinar consisted of the topic explanation and some QnA at the end of every session.
Lastly, we gave out out E-booklet Curahan Jiwa via Issuu to every people that we could reach. This e-booklet was some bottled up stories from anonymous that we collected since online campaign with some quotes and articles about depression and mental health in general. We make this e-booklet to encourage and to comfort people that they are not the only one going through tough times, that there are a lot of people with the same difficulties just like them. A lot of people were so enthusiastic to attend our events, with 70 people joined peer counselor training, 380 people joined our webinar from start to end, and our e-booklet Issuu got 699 reads. We hoped that this series of events brought by Project X could give light about the escalation of depression during pandemic.
