New Mental Health Awareness Initiative Launched

We're proud to announce the launch of our comprehensive mental health awareness initiative targeting youth in urban areas across Nairobi and Mombasa.

Initiative Overview

The program focuses on:

• Peer-to-peer mental health education workshops
• Training for teachers and community leaders
• Accessible counseling services through mobile units
• Social media campaigns to reduce stigma

Why This Matters

Mental health challenges among youth have increased by 35% in urban areas over the past three years, according to recent studies. This initiative aims to address this growing concern through early intervention and community-based support.

"Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it's often overlooked," said program coordinator Dr. Robert Kimani. "We're working to change that perception through education and accessible services."

Community Response

Initial feedback from pilot programs has been overwhelmingly positive, with over 80% of participants reporting increased awareness of mental health resources.
