Fiji's Youth Mental Health Crisis: Vanawalu Calls for Urgent Support
The demand for comprehensive mental health services in Fiji has skyrocketed in recent years, driven by the pressures of the digital age, social media, and ongoing global challenges. According to Assistant Minister for Education Iliesa Vanawalu, the Fijian youth are particularly vulnerable to rising stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues. To address this growing concern, Vanawalu emphasizes the need for strengthened mental health support systems, including accessible counseling services, mental health awareness programs, and community-based initiatives. By prioritizing mental health and wellbeing, Fiji can work towards creating a healthier and more resilient society. Key factors such as mental health awareness, stress management, and social support networks play a crucial role in promoting overall wellbeing. By acknowledging the importance of mental health, Fiji can take proactive steps towards mitigating the risks associated with mental illness and promoting a culture of care and support.
