Today was the final day of the #YoungandSafe boot camp at Taviefe Senior High School, and it was all about mental health. Mr Joseph Gyeedu from Ho Municipal Hospital led an enlightened session. He emphasized that good mental health is about making informed choices and navigating life's challenges without being overwhelmed. He helped us unpack the common factors that can impact our well-being, from stress and substance abuse to relationship issues and traumatic experiences. Overall, this mental health boot camp was a wake-up call. It's time to prioritize our well-being and break the stigma.

What does it take to create a long-lasting, systemic change? Make young people the focus - and the leaders! 🫱🏼🫲🏾 To coincide with United Nations' International #YouthDay, CityChangers.org has teamed up with Fondation Botnar to share the lessons learnt from Tanga, a trailblazing city in Tanzania empowering the next generation to take ownership of their future. 🌟 The TangaYetu (meaning OutTanga) project is a city-wide approach, equipping thousands of young people with digital literacy, attainment in STEM, entrepreneurialism training & much more. Investment in tech is a major component, but resilient cities can't live off digital tools alone. OurTanga is a shining example of how to synergise modern innovations with local knowledge, traditional skills, and contextualised need. Success started with one simple idea: asking the young people directly what needed to change.🧐 👉🏼 Learn how this led to an upturn in financial independence, equality, and even food security at https://lnkd.in/dkkyFVnR
