Youth 7-Point Agenda

Using Art Therapy for Mental Health Support

Using Art Therapy for Mental Health Support

Mental Health is one of the thematic  areas prioritised by young people in their 7-Point Agenda, an outcome of the first phase of the action research on “Intergenerational Perspectives on Building Education Better”, a Jaslika  initiative. Jaslika Youth Nairobi, together with selected young people from Nyeri, identified  mental health as a key issue affecting young people and children. Recognising the critical need to address this issue, Jaslika has been organising peer-to-peer learning and community intergenerational dialogues facilitated by  Whole Child Development Champions(WCDC) at community levels to help shift mindset changes and foster positive changes towards mental health among children, young people and the wider community.
