About Us

History

At Georgetown University in Qatar, the students take opportunities to build and strengthen the community. Waqar Basit Butt took initiative to develop the Mental Health Society for GUQ in November 2019. Once founded, members of the student body joined and began working on events, talks, and initiatives to involve the students and staff in regards to mental health conversations. We recognize the raging crisis of mental health issues and the stigma surrounding it. To begin the discussions on such topics, MHS was created to serve as a venue for spreading awareness and knowledge. Each year we grow and look forward to new ideas and we hope to continue this year as well.
