It is a day that aims to raise awareness about the #mentalhealth issues that #teenagers deal with. This Day is about making efforts to #educate everyone and destigmatize something that is becoming increasingly common.
As defined by the World Health Organization (#WHO), mental health is “a state of #well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can #cope with the normal stresses of life, can work #productively and fruitfully, and can make a #contribution to his or her #community.”
#Mental health struggles are unfortunately common in teens, making up 16% of disease and injuries in people aged 10 to 19. Mental health issues start from around 14 years of age and often go undiagnosed and untreated. #Suicide and #depression are some of the leading causes of death among teens, and can even lead to other struggles such as substance #abuse in later years.
World Teen Mental Wellness Day begins and carries on very important conversations about mental health. People often fail to understand what teenagers go through, and the #stigma associated with mental illness can make teens reluctant to ask for help. This day encourages open #conversation and awareness to help teens around the world.
