Young people respond much better to HIV and SRHR services that are specific to their age group. Research shows that targeted counselling to encourage behaviour change among young people is more effective than only handing out commodities such as condoms

AYP should Challenge restrictive policies and advocate for the national and county government to uphold the rights of people living with HIV ie adolescents and women.

[YACH Mombasa @MombasaYACH]

Where data exist, limited sample sizes and lack of disaggregation limits the available evidence to inform programming, because of these gaps, AYP are often missing from national HIV strategic plans, particularly interventions beyond PMTCT

You don't need to be an expert to support someone with a mental health problem. If a friend opens up to you, take it seriously, listen and reflect, ask questions and refer appropriately.
