Problem 

Young people today face rising levels of anxiety, depression, and emotional stress—but many suffer in silence due to fear of stigma and lack of trust in existing support systems. While schools may have counseling units, teens are often reluctant to use them because they worry their issues won't remain confidential and may be discussed with teachers or peers. Similarly, mental health units in hospitals are typically open and visible, making young people feel exposed and judged for seeking help.

In many communities, especially in Africa, mental health remains a taboo subject, and young people lack safe, private spaces to express what they’re going through. This leads to isolation, bottling up emotions, and worsening mental health.
