Miss Thailand World 2019 will be working on activities to promote better understanding of mental health. Her first duty as the department’s ambassador is to promote Let Me Hear You, a project created to encourage people to be good listeners, especially to those who are close to them such as family members, friends or colleagues, in order to reduce suicide rates. Volunteers in the project will participate in a one week-long event called Street Side Listeners, where they will listen to those who are having tough times. Volunteers will also join ‘Heart with Ears’, an activity created for World Suicide Prevention Day event on 9th September.
The Director of Department of Mental Health gave three tips for being a good listener. They are: listen with your ears, your eyes and your heart. Listeners should not only listen to the story but also read the facial expressions and body language of the speaker and open their hearts to listen to hidden needs. He added that a good listener should open their heart to listen to the speaker without any prejudices, try to understand the main message of the conversation and the emotions of the speaker. They should not interrupt the conversation with personal comments, advice or stories, but rather create an atmosphere that encourages the speaker to comfortably reveal their hidden feelings such as sadness, anger, or distress. Listeners must keep the stories they’ve heard confidential unless it is a life-threatening matter. The listener can disclose it to relevant authorities or experts to provide further help. If possible, the listener should discuss with the speaker about disclosing the story to a third person. Lastly, the listener should not take the stories and emotions of the speakers too personally.
Miss World 2019 will be the 69th edition of the Miss World pageant. It will be held on December 14, 2019 at the ExCeL London in London, United Kingdom. Vanessa Ponce of Mexico will crown her successor at the end of the event
