Empowering Mental Health Activities with AMOMA


Hi Everyone, My name is Michal Irfan. I am a senior majoring in Biomedical Sciences (BISC). I have decided to incorporate my project with Alverno Minds Over Matter Organization (AMOMA) for the BI-374 class this fall semester. I am the president of AMOMA where we host events to provide students with activities and space to raise awareness about mental health. October 10th, 2023 is World Mental Health Day and we are planning to host an event with activities like painting, planting, knitting, and kahoot. Meg will be collaborating with us to provide students with counseling resources. 


AMOMA brings Alverno students students who value mental health. As college students, a generation who has lived through the COVID-19 pandemic, and as incredibly busy students. AMOMA is here to help bring awareness to mental health issues and mental wellness.




I am currently in the process of organizing this event and I also plan to hand out some info cards to share tips on how to manage stress and how to overcome mental health issues.

    This is a great idea. Mental health has become so much more known since covid and I think it is great that we are learning about it and are given the resources!

      It all starts within your own community! This blog is helpful in helping me understand how I can create engaging events focusing on mental health at Alverno. I strongly believe that mental health is an important part of being a human being! And being able to spread awareness about it is even more great!

    I really like this blog because it's helping other students feel more open about their mental wellness and reach out for help if needed. It also helps the Alverno community be more closer

    I love your blog, because I can see your passion and understanding of the importance to spread mental health awareness! I love how you encompassed typically known stress reliever activities at your event. It was very clever to provide flask for painting.

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY EVENT     My BI-374 project was to incorporate mental health awareness info cards in the AMOMA event. I am the president of AMOMA. October 10th, 2023 was Mental Health Day so Alverno Minds Over Matter Association (AMOMA) decided to host an event to provide space for students to take a a little breather. We had knitting, flask painting, and planting activities. Meg also joined us to connect with the students and provided them with mental health awareness info cards and knitted goods.  I printed some cards like these below:  These are some of the reminders to maintain a good mentality throughout the day so I printed these and circulated them around during the events and guided them to place them on their mirror for everyday reminders.                    Here are some pictures from the day of the event:  I also made a Mental Health brochure to hand out during the next event but we di...
