Mental Health Matters -A Positive Shift in Wau!
At Youth Friendly Group for Development (YFGD), we take a moment today to celebrate hope, progress, and the strength of our young people.
Over the past two months (October and November), we have observed a remarkable improvement in mental health among youth in Wau.
Su***de cases among young people have significantly reduced, and this is something worth acknowledging and celebrating. 💚

This positive change shows that:
More young people are opening up and seeking help
-Communities are becoming more supportive
-Awareness efforts are making an impact
-Youth are choosing life, hope, and resilience

But our work does not end here.
YFGD will continue to advocate, educate, and support young people to ensure mental wellness remains a priority in our communities.
Let us keep spreading love, awareness, and encouragement.
Every life matters. Every voice matters. Every young person matters.
Together, we build a healthier and more

We are excited to share with you that we conducted a Mental Health and Psychosocial support awareness session at: Mobile Secondary School- 24/Sept/2025 and Al Nukhba Secondary School - 25/Sept/2025.
These sessions were a meaningful opportunity to engage Students, Teachers and Administrators in conversations about emotional well -being, coping strategies and how to help when needed.
We appreciate the administrations, and students of both schools for hosting us, for your openness, and for your commitment to making mental health a priority.
