Slide Background

Holistic well-being
is one of the
biggest priorities
for Indian
adolescents today.

Why Adolescent Mental Health Can’t Wait

  • 1 in 7 adolescents aged 10–19 live with a diagnosed mental health disorder. (UNICEF SOWC 2021)
  • In India, emotional and behavioral struggles are often overlooked — especially in Class IX students.
  • In 2018, the WHO classified gaming disorder as a mental health condition (ICD-11).
  • The pandemic has made it worse.
  •  Let’s change that.
