We invite you to join us for a far-reaching conversation about mental health in this unprecedented time!
Deji will draw from his extensive experience that spans several continents to share insights about how to manage anxiety in the context of COVID-19, and community-based interventions for supporting and promoting mental health for youth and youth workers.
