Mental Health Matters

Most mental illnesses develop between adolescents and young adulthood. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 75 percent of mental health disorders begin by age 24. The lack of awareness and safe spaces for youth can lead to long-term mental health concerns.

It is crucial to raise awareness and create inclusive spaces for open discussions on mental health.  It is in this context, Sky Trust launched Mental Health Matters Program.  Mental Health Matters is an initiative of Sky Trust to promote positivity around mental health. The program is geared towards educating young people on mental health.  Under the program, a series of online workshops are conducted. It targets community volunteers with the view to raise awareness on the mental health and to minimize stigma associated with it.
