2014 International Youth Day: Youth and Mental Health
Aug 12, 2014, 12:30 AM
0n 17 December 1999, the United Nations General Assembly endorsed the recommendations made by the World Conference of Ministers responsible for Youths that 12 August be declared International Youth Day.
The theme of International Youth Day 2014 is Youth and Mental Health.
Youths with mental health conditions can often experience stigma and discrimination which in turn can lead to exclusion and discourage people from seeking help for fear of being negatively labelled.
