Dear GYMHA Community and Supporters,
As we reflect on the Global Stress Management Revolutions 2024 Summit & Awards held on September 20-21, 2024, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who contributed to the success of this landmark event.
The summit was not merely an occasion for gathering; it was a powerful convergence of ideas, innovation, and action. With nearly 500 registrations, we witnessed unprecedented engagement from participants hailing from diverse backgrounds, all united by a common purpose: to enhance our collective understanding and management of stress. Your active participation and enthusiasm were palpable and played a crucial role in the dynamic energy throughout the event.
A special thank you to our esteemed guest speakers whose expertise illuminated critical aspects of stress management. Your willingness to share your insights and discoveries was invaluable and provided our attendees with practical tools and strategies that they can implement in their daily lives. The discussions ranged from cutting-edge stress management techniques to the importance of integrating mental health practices into the workplace, empowering all participants to take actionable steps towards personal and communal well-being.
I would also like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our affiliate organizations, donors, and partners. Your collaboration and resources made it possible to create an inclusive platform that fostered connection and growth. The music and dance performances added an uplifting atmosphere, reminding us of the healing power of art in managing stress.
To our team at GYMHA (Prof. David, Merit, Chijioke, Joshua, Mary-Anne, Sophia, and others), your commitment to excellence was evident at every stage of this event. The meticulous planning, attention to detail, and collaborative spirit that each of you brought to the table were instrumental in creating a memorable experience. This summit would not have been possible without the relentless efforts of our board of directors and advisors. I extend my deepest appreciation to Prof. Jude Ediae for his visionary leadership; your guidance has been an inspiration to us all.
My gratitude extends to our awesome moderators (Ishani, Merit, Ahmed, and Mahmooda), as well as all our masterclass presenters. Your professionalism and expertise ensured that our sessions were not only informative but also engaging and interactive, fostering a rich environment of learning and exchange.
As we move forward, I encourage all participants to apply the knowledge gained from this summit in both personal and professional spheres. Let us empower ourselves and our loved ones to overcome the challenges of stress and thrive in our endeavors.
Thank you once again for your immense contributions and for being part of this transformative journey. Together, we have set a precedent for future initiatives aimed at enhancing mental health awareness and stress management strategies.
Wishing you all continued happiness, abundance, and resilience.
Best regards,
Amadi Vivian
GYMHA Deputy Chairperson and Volunteer Director
