You Are Not Alone (YANA)
According to a recent survey by WHO, Nigerian children are the most pressured to succeed in the whole world.
Recent research suggests that one in six students aged 5 to 16years are currently experiencing one or more psychological, emotional, or social difficulties, and less than 10% have access to therapeutic help. Unfortunately, students in their teenage years find it difficult to open up about their personal challenges to familiar faces such as teachers and even the school counselor. It is therefore imminent for every success-focusedschool to be more creative with providing therapeutic help.
Unfortunately, most of these issues are not being attended to due to ignorance and lack of access to competent Mental health counselors.
