Welcome to a new episode of the Policy Room. In this insightful conversation, we sit down with Chehak, a dedicated feminist development practitioner. With extensive experience in youth suicide prevention and policy advocacy at the Centre for Mental Health Law and Policy, Chehak also co-builds RADIATE (Radical Action for Disability Advocacy Towards Equity). RADIATE aims to create access to healthcare and livelihoods for disabled women and gender minorities, considering various intersections of caste, class, and religion.
Join us as we explore the meaning of capacity building in mental health, the involvement of young people in co-designing mental health programs, and the importance of trust and relationships in addressing youth mental health. Chehak shares successful youth-led initiatives, discusses the role of intersectionality, and addresses the challenges faced by young people in low-resource settings. We also delve into innovative approaches for promoting youth mental health awareness and the power of participatory learning in enhancing knowledge and attitudes among diverse stakeholders.
