Youth Mental Health After Conflict

Young people living amid conflict, displacement, and prolonged instability face profound psychological challenges, often in settings with limited mental health infrastructure. This session explores how societies can move beyond short-term response toward sustainable, youth-centered systems grounded in prevention, early identification, community engagement, and cultural context—positioning youth mental health as a cornerstone of long-term recovery and resilience.
