Mental health is an essential part of the youth’s overall health. 
It influences their ability to succeed in school and in society.
Children and adolescents who are mentally and emotionally healthy can think clearly, develop socially, learn new skills, and problem solve more easily. They have a sense of self-worth and cope well with academic and social challenges; hence, they are more likely to grow into happy, successful, and well-adapted adults, who in turn can positively affect the health and wellbeing of their community.
