Strengthen the capacity of parents, teachers, and community members to recognize early signs of mental health problems in youth. 3. Improve access to mental health support and services in the country. 4. Promote mental health education and coping strategies within schools and community settings. 5.

Utilize various media platforms (radio, TV, social media) to reach a broader audience and encourage open discussions about mental health. Collaborate with local influencers and community leaders to support and amplify the message of mental health awareness. 2. Training and Capacity Building: Conduct workshops and training sessions for parents, teachers, and community members to help them identify signs of mental distress in youth. Train teachers to incorporate mental health education into the curriculum, emphasizing emotional well-being and coping skills.

School-Based Programs: Introduce mental health education as part of the school curriculum, promoting emotional intelligence and coping mechanisms. Set up peer support groups and counselling services within schools, led by trained professionals and teachers. Conduct regular mental health assessments among students to identify those at risk and provide early interventions. 5.

By implementing these proposed strategies, we can create a supportive environment that fosters the mental well-being of young individuals, leading to healthier and happier communities worldwide.
