MARVEL (Mental Illness Prevention in School) 2ndINTERVENTION
SCOPH CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand
On Sunday, September 26th 2021, SCOPH CIMSA-BEM KM FK Unand held their 2nd Intervention for MARVEL Community Development virtually via ZOOM Cloud Meetings. It consisted of a presentation by MARVEL’s cadres, Let’s Talk, followed by an informative discussion session and closed with a fun game for SMAN 1 Kota Padang students.
MARVEL (Mental Illness Prevention in School), is a community development program that has been going on for three years. The main goal is to make MARVEL into a sustainable project in SMAN 1 Kota Padang. Now that MARVEL is in its third year, it has developed a close relationship with multiple of its cadres. We are hoping that MARVEL is one step closer to becoming a sustainable project.
This second intervention is the second to last step MARVEL 2021 took to reach its goal. It consisted of a comprehensive presentation by Let’s Talk cadres, Shahnaz and Naila, about the relation between depression and COVID-19.
This presentation was directed to the students of SMAN 1 Kota Padang. In it, Shahnaz explained the cause and factors that lead to depression and its relation to the current situation, the COVID-19 Pandemic. Naila then continued the presentation by explaining the physical and psychological symptoms of depression. The real problem with most depression cases is not wanting to seek help. This can be caused by two things, whether it's the depression itself that's hindering oneself, or the thought that suffering from depression is embarrassing.
This presentation was influenced by the previous interventions, Mrs. Kus, the founder of Mental Health Care Community of West Sumatera, and LPO-PO of MARVEL’s presentation.
The presentation from our cadres was both insightful and powerful. The students then proceeded to ask a few questions. After the intervention, we followed with a fun game session with both our cadres and the students of SMAN 1 Kota Padang. We also did an award to our cadres and held a photo session afterwards. Overall, the intervention was a success and we as a member hoped that this intervention could be beneficial for the students of SMAN 1 Kota Padang.
We are extremely thankful for the time and dedication that are given to our 2nd Intervention.
