Additionally, the visits signified the start of the next phase of the WINGS program—Level 3—which involves the recruitment of teachers as School Wellbeing Mentors (SWMs) who can provide mental health awareness and offer support to students
During these visits, the team engaged with school administration to discuss the evolving challenges and needs related to student wellbeing. Recruitment drives were conducted at Learning House, Meezan Academy, and Qamar-e-Bani Hashim School to identify and onboard School Wellbeing Mentors (SWMs) for Level 3. The community team interacted with multiple candidates, and after a rigorous interview process, selected individuals who will take on this crucial role. These selected SWMs will undergo training by the Taskeen team, equipping them to provide essential support to students facing mental health concerns and ensuring timely, accessible interventions within their schools.
