AARR KickStart (18-25+)
Helping with the transition from being a dependent to being independent.
Bridge the gapp is an online resource designed to support mental wellness in both Adults and Youth.
We provide safe, non-judgmental care, information and resources, and work to reach young people earlier – before health challenges become problematic. Foundry brings health and social services together in a single place to make it easier for young people to find the care, connection and support they need. Foundry is a province-wide network of integrated health and social service centres for young people ages 12-24.
We work to build a future where young people can actualize their life potential. Shamiri means "thrive" in Kiswahili. Because mental health prevents many young people from realizing their life outcomes, our current priority is to develop and implement tools that improve the mental health and wellbeing of Africa's youths.
Tom Osborn - A New Way to Help Young People with their Mental Health
TED Fellow Tom Osborn wants more young people to have access to the mental health support they need. With the Shamiri Institute, he and his team are training 18- to 22-year-olds to deliver evidence-based mental health care to their peers in Kenya -- which has only two clinicians for every million people. Hear how their community-first, youth-oriented model could become a template to help kids across the world lead successful, independent lives.
