Mental Health
Helping At-Risk Youth in Kenya to Become Purposeful Citizens
Vijana kwa Vijana Initiative is a youth-led organization with a mission to make mental health awareness among the youth.
We believe that we need to provide an inclusive, safe, and supportive community where young people can speak openly about mental health.
We have a mission to create awareness about mental health among youth and provide opportunities for youth to cope with mental illness.
Our goal is to:
- Encourage people to start talking about their own mental health experiences
- Educate peers and parents on how to recognize the signs of depression and anxiety, an what actions one can take when they notice that someone might need help
- Provide resources for difficult times.
- And most importantly: we want to help you make decisions about your future.
We are dedicated to raising awareness about mental health and generating information for people struggling with suicidal thoughts.
We are committed to helping the youth of our community understand their feelings and life choices, in order to manage stress before it becomes too much.
Youth really need someone to talk to, many turn to harmful coping methods like drugs and alcohol. Our goal is not only to educate youth on mental health but also provide them with all the tools they need to care for themselves!
