Last month, @StanleyFound, @wellcometrust, @who, and @UNDP gathered youth activists from around the world to explore the nexus between #climatechange and #health. @victorr_ugo says in terms of mental health, there needs to be a message of hope, not fear. #internationalyouthday

It’s another day of our #300DaysOfAction
The challenge for the week is to take a picture holding a placard that reads: #IAmA ‘your profession’ and a ‘your profession’ can live with ‘mental illness’
Post using these hashtags #300daysofaction #IAmA
Nominate 5 friends to do same.

5.... to empower them with the knowledge and the skills to recognize and know what to do about symptoms of mental health issues and substance use and abuse. #ProjectFuture

[MentallyAwareNigeria @MentallyAwareNG]

4. #ProjectFuture is a campaign supported by @actfoundation_.
For the campaign, we will be visiting schools across 2 major cities in Nigeria to train students and teachers in mental health basics and promotion,..

[MentallyAwareNigeria @MentallyAwareNG]

3. Because children spend so much of their daily life at school, it seems logical that mental health education should begin in schools. #ProjectFuture

[MentallyAwareNigeria @MentallyAwareNG]

2. That’s why we have seen the need to not just educate students but also train their teachers and parents to be able to recognize these issues early, and know, not just what to look out for, but what to do about it. #ProjectFuture

[MentallyAwareNigeria @MentallyAwareNG]

Lately in Nigeria, there seems to be a rising rate of drug and substance abuse as well as mental health issues and their sequel of suicide, especially amongst young persons.

When I was 14, my school took a trip to a hospital to visit babies born by drug addicted mothers. I still remember those newborns shaking uncontrollably from withdrawal. It shaped my relationship with drug abuse.

1/2 the world’s population now live in cities (2/3 by 2050) + urbanization an established risk factor for mental ill-health = we really need to be considering mental health in urban development. Great interview ⁦@victorr_ugo⁩ https://t.co/fn8pUkXXhY
