Summary
Every 90 minutes a youth commits suicide in India. Mental health is highly stigmatized in Indian society and has therefore become a burning issue affecting adolescents predominantly. Mental health problems amongst children can lead to catastrophic consequences such as suicide, depression,substance abuse,failure to complete schooling and health problems. AWAG aims to provide free expert counselling to 750 vulnerable children of 5 Government schools of Ahmedabad in 1 year. Important Notice about Projects in India: We expect that there will be significant delays in getting funds to this project due to new regulatory requirements that impact GlobalGiving's ability to disburse to Indian-banked organizations. GlobalGiving is working hard to address the issue, but there is a chance that we will be unable to disburse funds to this project. If we cannot disburse funds, donations to this project may be reallocated to another organization per our terms and conditions.
