School outreach programmes
We support schools develop subsistence abuse prevention programmes. We also have seminars for teachers and parents on mental health of young people.

Parents chat
We create a forum for parents of young people to have a chat amongst themselves or with young people. This may help parents learn what young people want, separate what are mental health problems and normal growth issues and reduce the tendency to pathologize normal teen behaviors.
