Mental well-being of young people is at cross-roads today. More so, the mental health of those who come under the category, Young at Risk (YaR). Children and young people who have either experienced or presently experiencing adverse situations such as neglect, abuse, exploitation, exclusion and violence are described as Young at Risk (YaR). Research studies indicate that these vulnerable young people are prone to experience poor physical health as well as poor mental health due to personal choices and environmental influences. Communicable and non-communicable disorders, and others such as alcohol and drug abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, road traffic injuries and suicide are some common problems they face today.
