20May
May is a Mental Health Awareness Month
DID YOU KNOW ?: Youth mental health problem especially depression and anxiety, accounts to 45% of the global burden of disease on youth ages 15-19yrs.
In Kenya, where 50% of the population is aged 19 or younger, this challenge is particularly severe and we estimate that five million (5,000,000) Kenyan youth aged 13 - 19yrs struggle with #MentalHealthProblems leading to many negative life outcomes.
We join our partners this month of May 2024 towards making #MentalHealth a PRIORITY.
