Many NGOs working for Adolescents work on specific subjects like prevention of substance abuse or reproductive health issues etc Our USP is Holistic development ( Physical , Mental, emotional , spiritual ,social etc ) empowering the children themselves and involving parents and teachers.
Parenting today’s children is not an easy task- with disintegration of joint families, working parents, extreme academic competition etc. Do to adverse effects of Urbanization and Westernization there are increasing issues that are hampering the growth of healthy physical and mental well being in children specially in cities.
We particularly focus on issues of Urban children that come from high, middle and upper middle socio-economic status.
In families that stay in metro and big cities in India there is a rising incidence of issues in adolescents and children like , obesity, rebellion and high risk behavior, addiction to internet, consumption of tobacco, alcohol and drugs, extreme academic stress due to intense competition, depression and suicide.
Doing Multicentric research to understand youth behavior to plan effective interventions. In the last 10 yrs we have presented papers in International and National conferences and won awards. ( more details in Research section )
We promote Healthy Life style to prevent Life style associated diseases ( also called NCD- Non communicable diseases) - like obesity , high blood pressure , diabetes ,some cancers etc ). India has a rising incidence of NCDs not only in adults but also in adolescents and children. Obesity in children and adolescents is going as high as 20 - 29 % in some metro cities. Fortunately, all this is PREVENTABLE by simple measure of altering our bad life style.
We also promote Emotional well being by teaching regulation of emotions and dealing with stress, rejections and failures in life. We empower children and youth with skills to promote healthy physical and mental behavior through WHO promoted LSE- Life Skill Education Methodology.
We help parents and teachers understand the physical, psychosocial and emotional development and related issues so that they can help in making their children physically healthy and mentally happy and productive citizens of our country.
We do this by 1) Conducting workshops for parents and teachers on all issues related to children and youth themselves 2) Programs for children and youth in schools and Colleges. These NGO was founded to promote Advocacy and Workshops.
