Schools, churches, dialogues & digital spaces shape views on contraception yet myths & stigma still block youth access. What actions can these spaces take in 1–3 yrs to normalize use & create safe, supportive choices for young people?

Kenya’s ASRH Policy (2015) & Adolescent-Friendly Services Guidelines (2016) promise better youth contraceptive access—but stock-outs,stigma & consent barriers remain. What steps should gov’t & partners take to ensure full implementation across all counties, incl. Kisumu?

@DreamsGirlsYou1 @HopeRekindledIn @LVCTKe @KenyaRedCross @AmaniCtrACCTI @TinadaOrg @BasicNeedsIntl @UNDPKenya Talking about wanting to die and being a burden increase isolation and dramatic mood changes giveaway positions withdrawing from usual activities,increased substance use or talking about feeling hopeless.Any mention of “I want to end it” requires immediate caring action.

@DreamsGirlsYou1 @LVCTKe @KenyaRedCross @EqualityHealth @TinadaOrg Ordinary people can notice warning signs listen with care check in and link with friends to help.

@DreamsGirlsYou1 @LVCTKe @KenyaRedCross @TinadaOrg Mental health affects how we think feel and act and it shapes our relationships, and ability to cope with life stresses silence, and stigma mean people delay getting help until problems become crisis, but early support reduces suffering keep families and community stronger
