On 15th March 2025, The Science Park Innovation and Incubation Centre (SPIIC) took part in a significant Mental Health Day event at the Lugala Education Complex. Organized by the Kakamega Forest Heritage Foundation, this event aimed to raise awareness about mental health among high school students, equipping them with the knowledge and resources to prioritize their well-being.

SPIIC’s participation underscored its commitment to fostering not only intellectual and academic excellence but also emotional and psychological resilience. Recognizing the strong correlation between mental well-being and innovation, academic success, and career development, SPIIC engaged students in interactive sessions and expert-led discussions on managing stress, building self-awareness, and seeking support when needed.

The sessions provided a platform for open dialogue, allowing students to share their experiences and gain valuable insights on maintaining a healthy mental state. Through these discussions, SPIIC encouraged students to view mental health as a crucial foundation for achieving their goals and excelling in their future endeavors.

SPIIC remains dedicated to supporting young minds in their journey of growth and development. By integrating mental health awareness into its broader mission of innovation and education, the Centre continues to champion holistic success for the next generation of leaders and change-makers.
