Our key message: PREVENT and DE-ESCALATE. Lebanon and the region cannot cope with another crisis.

1 in 7 adolescents live with a #MentalHealth condition.

Without adequate support, these conditions can have long-lasting effects on their education, relationships, and overall well-being.

We’re calling on countries to invest in effective age-appropriate mental health services for young people and to address barriers to care.

“Raila Odinga may not speak in Arabic or French but what he has is political fortitude, and a lot of what is happening in Africa right now needs a Chairperson who has the strength to take the pressure and to chart the right course.

Raila is many things, but he is not a person who shrinks in front of a task. He is ready to look eyeball to eyeball to the dozens of pretty tough characters who are perpetrating conflicts all over the continent.

If he can bring to the job a straight spine and a real strength of principle which I think he can, then he has the potential to be a standout African Union Commission Chairperson."- @AmbMKimani
