My Climate Stand
How Y.A.S.S!
makes a
difference
what we do
-
We offer peer support and professional counselling to anyone who reaches out to us.
-
We visit high schools and campuses to offer presentations on personal mental health care as we spread awareness on mental health issues and how we are tackling them through our platform.
-
we also record video podcasts where we share some stories of people who have gone through different cases that led them to suicidal thoughts and how they managed to overcome that moment thus showing people that they are not alone.
Help us be the difference
The money donated goes into supporting our projects
through funding:​​​
Emergency Responses
Sometimes, we get calls from people who are in the process of committing suicide. We have to instantly rush to the scene and get any appropriate emergency services for them until we are assured that they are safe and secure and getting access to the help they need. This process in unpredictable and costly and thus any donation will help us be ready for these types of situations at any time.
Effective presentations
We would like to acquire a laptop, portable speaker and projector to avoid inconveniences during mid to large presentations in high schools and campuses. We have been facing short comings because we are restricted to our voices and a malfunctioning PC for our presentations, sometimes we have over 100 people in attendance and we cannot in such instances spread the message to all of them in a single session.
Online efforts
Develop a short training course on Mental health first aid for volunteers that want to help as peer supporters - Many people are reaching out for support and as a small team, it gets overwhelming at times. When more people reach out to offer their assistance for peer support we have to personally train them so that they can offer the help adequately, this takes away time for helping those in need. An online course would help us train the potential peer supporters passively and increase the available help and support for the people reaching out.
Podcasts - We offer a T-Shirt to every person who is willing to share their story with us and we take the initiative to record the podcast wherever they are comfortable thus bringing about movement costs. The donation goes a long way to help us sustain this progress and allow other people to listen to these stories of hope and know that they are not alone.
