COVID-19 has put the mental health of an entire generation at risk.

 COVID-19 has put the mental health of an entire generation at risk.

Let's be candid about the last two years or so...

Our children and young adults have been exposed to challenges that have affected them directly in every aspect of their lives.

As adults some of us have learnt that at one time or the other challenges occur in our lives, but our children did not have the time and space to know what can happen in ones day to day activities because of lack of exposure as well as experience.

Covid-19 threw them in the thick of it, schools were interrupted, lifestyles changed overnight and some of them experienced conflicting adults.

When you consider all of the above and add on it that most adults rarely if at all pay close attention to their children (unless its about provisions and the likes) let alone ask after their emotional wellbeing, then you get the picture.

We are saying, ask a child, your child, your friends child what's on their mind. Remember, a child's opinion also matters. Don't let them become invisible in plain sight. The future of the next generation matters.
