ImPOWER, A YOUTH-LED INITIATIVE

ImPOWER ( Youth-led initiative ) – A Project to Educate, Engage and Empower Youth, is being implemented by SIDC since 2019 in partnership with the National Mental Health Program at the Ministry of Public Health and UNICEF. This project targets youth aged 10-24 years and aims to address prevention from risky behavior on all the levels of the socio-ecological model in a more integrated & participatory approach that is focused on the well-being of the youth in Lebanon.

The Youth-Led initiative was one of the main activities of this project.

21 participants representing local Lebanese organizations such as LOST- ANERA – LEBRELIEF PWHO- TDHL- NABAA- RMF CHEBIBEH CLUB and the social Movement attended a 5-day training on health education and communication with adolescents and youth to access required services and monitor and refer youth at risk.
