Adolescent and Youth Mental Health Awareness at Model Secondary School, Maitama

In October 2026, our team visited Model Secondary School, Maitama, Abuja for a school-based mental-health awareness visit. The programme focused on understanding mental health, emotional well-being and the everyday pressures young people face.

NEONA Foundation team members and students gathered for a school-based mental-health awareness session at Model Secondary School, Maitama.

What the session covered

Our team spent the whole day at the school. During the visit, five NEONA Foundation team members delivered two presentations to approximately 50 students, aged 14–16. The sessions discussed:

  • Mental health
  • Emotional well-being
  • Self-awareness
  • Bullying
  • Peer pressure

These are programme-report figures for this session; no individual students are identified and no outcome claims are made here.
