Objectives of this project:

• Destigmatisation of mental health issues in five villages and five government schools in the Nainital district of Uttarakhand by creating awareness through an anti-stigma campaign.
• Identification of adolescents at risk and referral to counseling and treatment facilities provided by the government through adolescent-friendly health services and Primary Health Centers (PHCs).
• Creation of a safe space (help desks) for adolescents, where they can share their anxieties, confusions, and frustrations and their issues of concern.
• Creation of an enabling environment that will lead to the overall wellbeing of adolescents.
