MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM
Mental health problems are a result of complex interplay between biological, psychological, social and environmental factors .It’s important to recognize that mental health can be affected in multiple ways.
While there is stress relating to our work environments that need to be managed, we must also remember to monitor the stresses in our personal life as well. There is increasing evidence that both the content and context of work can play a role in the development of mental health problems in the workplace. Mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse and stress, are common, affecting individuals, their families and co-workers, and the broader community.

CORPORATE ADOLESCENTS & YOUTH ARCADES
In this era of social media, teenagers have become extremely good at making virtual friends but extremely poor at creating and maintaining personal relationships. The society has exposed the young people to social evils like rape, corruption, gambling, drugs and family negligence.
Life skills & mentorship programs promote positive outcomes by providing opportunities, fostering positive relationships, and giving the support needed to build on their strengths as well as prevent risky behaviors. The opportunities, skills, and atmosphere offered in a positive youth development program can lead to better health, social, and educational outcomes. Young people need skills on how to manage their sexual feelings and make responsible decisions about their health, exposure to drugs, personal goal setting and friendship formation.
Some of the life skills the adolescents and youth are trained on are;
- Assertiveness
- Self-awareness
- Decision making
- Sexual reproductive health
- Coping with frustration and stress
- Parent – teen communication
