South Africa’s Invisible Emergency – Rewiring the Youth Mental-Health Grid Before the Next Light Goes Out

South Africa’s youth are facing a silent crisis: more young people are dying by suicide than from HIV. This emergency is made worse by not enough money, very few counselors in schools, and big problems getting help, especially for girls with disabilities and the Deaf. We need to fix this fast by putting more money into mental health, training more helpers, and using new ideas like video counseling and phone apps. If we don’t, many more young lives will be lost, and the whole country will feel the pain.
