Cape Town’s Youth Mental Health Initiative is a groundbreaking programme designed to inform young people about mental health, combat stigma and discrimination, and offer a safe environment for those in need. The programme is being implemented in schools, starting with grade 11 students at Mountview High School in Hanover Park. City Health clinics provide mental health services, and helpline numbers are available for those who require assistance. By educating and supporting the youth, the initiative aims to empower them to become resilient leaders who prioritize mental health and contribute to a healthier society.
