This multi-faceted initiative aims to equip the communityโespecially the youthโwith the knowledge, skills, and resources necessary to lead healthier, safer, and more informed lives.
The symposium provides a platform for open dialogue, expert insights, and interactive discussions on some of the most pressing health concerns affecting todayโs adolescents and young adults. From understanding mental health challenges and coping mechanisms, to promoting awareness about HIV prevention and treatment, and highlighting the dangers of smoking along with strategies for cessation, this initiative emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness.
By addressing these interconnected health issues together, the symposium underscores the importance of early intervention, informed decision-making, and community support. Participants are encouraged to take proactive steps in managing their health, supporting peers, and fostering environments where knowledge, empathy, and prevention go hand in hand.

Together, letโs prioritize health, embrace awareness, and champion change.
