Unlocking Resilience: Empowering Youth Through Mental Health
Uplift Human Development Foundation, a registered non-governmental organization (Registration No: ooNGO/R/7396), is dedicated to fostering the holistic development of children and adolescents. Since our inception in 2019, we have been committed to providing moral education,
promoting academic excellence, and addressing reproductive health needs. Building on this foundation.
Adolescence and young adulthood are crucial periods marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes. These transitions can be particularly challenging, and without adequate support, young people are at increased risk of developing mental health conditions that can significantly impact their future. Furthermore, the lack of vocational skills often leads to limited opportunities for employment and economic empowerment, further exacerbating these challenges.
UHDF upcoming projects:
The "Empowering Adolescent Minds" project aims to address these interconnected issues by providing integrated mental health support and vocational skills training to secondary and college students. The project will encompass mental health awareness campaigns, counseling services, life skills workshops, vocational training programs, mentorship opportunities.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT:
* Enhance Mental Health Support: Provide individual and group counselling sessions to adolescents in secondary schools and colleges in Dar es Salaam and Tanga, reducing anxiety, depression, and stress among students.
* Promote Awareness: Conduct parent-teacher workshops to foster better understanding and collaboration on mental health issues affecting students.
* Equip with Vocational Skills: Offer soft skills training in tailoring, vegetable cultivation, and poultry farming, enabling students and their families to generate additional income.
