Getting in Touch with the Elephant in the Room

The expression “the elephant in the room” is a metaphorical idiom for an important issue that is obvious, but no one wants to discuss because it feels uncomfortable. Everyone's home may also have an elephant in the room, filled with different emotions and needs. However, our family members, for various reasons, may ignore the elephant and live as usual, missing the opportunity to understand the needs behind emotions.

The Counseling and Wellness Center is pleased to invite you to our exhibition outside LT-A at the Academic Concourse, during 26 February - 5 March 2024. The exhibition features personal stories from a group of students who are eager to raise awareness and co-create a compassionate university community. Let’s turn the lights on and touch the elephant in the room, re-establish connections, break down prejudices, and regain the strength to empower family harmony for mental wellness.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to a group of students who generously shared their personal stories to help raise awareness and co-create a compassionate community.
