Our Stories

Story 1: Breaking the Silence

"I never thought I could talk about my anxiety. The stigma kept me quiet for years. Through PUZ’s community awareness session in Sehwan, I learned that help is available and free. Today, I am enrolled in counseling and feel hopeful for the first time."

Story 2: From Isolation to Support

"Depression made me feel alone. When PUZ’s Mental Health Officer visited our village, I realized I wasn’t alone. The counseling sessions helped me regain confidence and reconnect with my family."

Story 3: Empowering Communities

"As a Lay Counselor trained by PUZ, I’ve seen lives change. People who once feared talking about mental health now attend sessions openly. We are breaking stigma, one conversation at a time."

Story 4: Crisis Response in Action

"During the floods, PUZ’s Psychological First Aid workshop prepared us to support distressed individuals. We learned how to listen, calm, and guide people toward professional help. It made a real difference in our community."
