Vocational Training Centres, Nyamira, Kenya

Mental health is a whole-person issue, and formation includes it. Sharing the referral framework we're embedding in each school.

Trained the first 15 teacher-counselors this term. The model: you can't hire your way out of the ratio, so equip the trusted adults already in the building. Every teacher a first responder for the soul.

Kenyan secondary schools have one counselor for hundreds of students, if any. We're strengthening counseling in Catholic schools so a struggling teenager has somewhere to turn before crisis, not after.
