One Stage. A Powerful Voice for Youth Mental Health."},"content":{"rendered":"

Two talented students from SEGi took centre stage at the recent Sarawak International Conference for Youth Mental Health 2025, held on 28\u201329 July at the Waterfront Hotel, Kuching. Arwen Zahra Raees, Diploma in Mass Communication student and President of the Broadcasting Club, and Jet Lee, a Bachelor of Early Years Education student, were selected as Masters of Ceremony (MCs) for this prestigious event\u2014demonstrating exceptional communication skills, presence, and leadership in front of an international audience.<\/p>\n

Their roles as MCs were more than ceremonial\u2014they were powerful showcases of how education can empower young people to speak confidently on critical issues like youth mental health. According to the World Health Organization, one in seven adolescents aged 10\u201319 is estimated to live with a mental disorder. By giving students opportunities to lead, engage, and speak up, the college helps cultivate mental health awareness, emotional intelligence, and youth empowerment from within the learning experience.<\/p>\n

Arwen brought poise, charisma, and command to the role, embodying the applied skills gained through her programme in mass communication. Jet offered a calm, thoughtful presence, drawing from his foundation in early years education, which further highlighted the cross-disciplinary strength of SEGi College Sarawak\u2019s academic offerings. Together, they reflected the college\u2019s commitment to building articulate, confident, and socially responsible graduates.<\/p>\n

Providing such platforms for student-led visibility underscores the college\u2019s mission to offer real-world exposure while contributing meaningfully to pressing social conversations. Mental health remains one of the most urgent global issues facing young people today, with the United Nations identifying it as key to achieving not just good health, but also inclusive education and reduced inequalities.<\/p>\n

This event also reflects the broader vision of SEGi in shaping well-rounded, capable individuals who are not just industry-ready, but also conscious of their role in building a better, more empathetic world. It is through moments like these that students find their voices\u2014and use them to make a difference.<\/p>\n

This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being <\/strong><\/p>\n

SDG 4: Quality Education<\/strong><\/p>\n

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities<\/strong><\/p>\n
