SCDI is proud to have been a part of and successfully facilitated the Lift Up: Your Mental Health, Your Power! training in Bangkok. This program, a collaboration between Youth LEAD, YPEER Asia Pacific Center - Ypeer AP and Youth Voices Count, Inc., gathered young leaders from communities across Asia to learn about essential skills in mental resilience, emotional strength, and mental health awareness.

Participants also had the unique opportunity to visit Tangerine Clinic, where they observed how community-sensitive services are provided, serving as a model for inclusive and youth-centred care.

A participant remarked after the training, 'I feel empowered with the knowledge and skills to create positive change. The participants have committed to:
- Sharing information to raise awareness about mental health.
- Supporting youth and vulnerable community members.
- Building safe spaces for sharing and support.
SCDI would like to thank Youth LEAD, Ypeer AP and Youth Voices Count, Inc. for this incredible opportunity. We look forward to future collaborations to promote positive mental health and create supportive communities for young people.
