Saba Qamar, UNICEF Pakistan\u2019s first National Ambassador for child rights, used her platform to speak about mental health awareness.<\/p>\n
Marking World Mental Health Awareness Month, she shared a heartfelt video<\/a> urging people to listen, care, and normalise emotional conversations.<\/p>\n Her message emphasised that mental health is not something to hide or whisper about, but is as vital as physical health.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cWe don\u2019t talk about mental health enough. And when we do, it\u2019s often whispered, as something to hide.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s not. Mental health is just as important as physical health.\u201d<\/p>\n Saba spoke candidly about her personal experiences with emotional struggles, admitting that some days felt overwhelmingly heavy.<\/p>\n She explained that moments of uncertainty and stress taught her the value of reaching out and practising grounding routines.<\/p>\n Saba shared: \u201cFor me, praying, journaling, reading, exercising, painting, and even listening to music, these are habits that keep me calm.\u201d<\/p>\n Her words resonated with many, particularly young audiences who often feel isolated when coping with anxiety or stress.<\/p>\n The actor also highlighted the importance of paying attention to children\u2019s emotional well-being.<\/p>\n She stressed that small gestures of care can be transformative.<\/p>\n Saba said: \u201cSometimes, just listening to a child or validating their feelings can make the biggest difference.\u201d<\/p>\n Through her work with UNICEF Pakistan, she has consistently advocated for breaking the stigma around mental health.<\/p>\n Her latest message reinforced the idea that empathy and active listening are essential tools for supporting mental wellness.<\/p>\n Fans and advocacy groups praised her for using her platform to address a topic often avoided in public discourse.<\/p>\n The Instagram video felt sincere and personal, with Saba\u2019s calm demeanour inviting viewers to reflect on their own mental health habits.<\/p>\n She encouraged everyone to normalise conversations about emotions, reminding that seeking help is not a weakness.<\/p>\n The actress concluded: \u201cLet\u2019s keep talking, let\u2019s keep listening, and let\u2019s keep reminding each other, it\u2019s okay not to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n Saba\u2019s words serve as a timely reminder that emotional well-being deserves attention, care, and compassion in every household.<\/p>\n In a society that often celebrates perfection, her message reassured that acknowledging vulnerability is an act of courage.<\/p>\n By combining her public influence with UNICEF<\/a>\u2019s mission, Saba Qamar continues to shine a light on mental health and child welfare.<\/p>\n Her efforts show that small acts of listening and empathy can spark meaningful change across communities in Pakistan.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
