TeensAttackingMentalHealth

Gaborone

We are a teen intervention aimed at helping teenagers navigate mental health pertaining to three factors that we have determined to greatly impact their mental health. These are: School, Family and Immediate environment which comprises of beauty standards, cyberbullying, FOMO etc.
The following are our missions, strategies for each factor:

SCHOOL
Here, our focus will not only be on giving academic counsel unique to each student’s weaknesses and strengths as well as promoting and implementing new strategies to help enhance the school experience. It shall also be panned to mending the emotional and mental association that teens have with school by addressing topics such as burn out, validation, disappointment and stagnation; cultivating new talents whilst simultaneously not demeaning school and finding harmony with all aspects of their life; balancing the desire to succeed with the need to be present.

FAMILY
Our main focus will be mediating povs of both teenagers and parents and bringing them to a common crux of closure. Different family dynamics and their effects will be displayed accompanied by expert and survivor advice on how to maneuver through them; the ultimate goal being their success no matter the circumstances they were raised in and if is in their cards, familial reconciliation. Family counseling, rescue missions and campaigns for better child welfare policies will be some of our targets.

Immediate environment
Lastly, we will move on to their immediate environment which comprises of: toxic friends, overall validation and fear of judgement, beauty standards, cyberbullying, rape and SA as well as fitting in (mismatched block). Strategies such as partnerships with dermatologists, finding personal style matches, campaigns for stricter punishments for rape and SA, taking a hobby approach and other activities to cut screen time as well as ‘’Journey’’ program in which we help teenagers to unearth themselves whilst stabilizing the foundation of the unique and ever evolving path that is them; their character, aspirations etc. will be employed.
