An alarming rate of 13% of Rwandans ages 12-17 report suicidal ideation or behavior within the last 6 months; 20% among those have HIV. One in four youth meet the diagnostic criteria for depression. Mental health awareness and literacy are low among Rwandan youth, and there is reported societal shame in seeking help. Our innovation, co-designed with youth, addresses mental health stigma among Rwandan youth and improves knowledge and self-efficacy to access supportive services.
