In a dedicated effort to address the often-overlooked issue of mental health, especially among young people, Sunday Akande, Founder of the Centre for Leadership Development in Africa (C-Lead Africa), will be conducting a training session for volunteers and students in Counseling and Human Development Studies at the University of Ibadan this weekend. The focus of the training is to equip participants with the skills needed to assist individuals experiencing mental distress.
Mental health remains a crucial but frequently unaddressed topic, particularly among the youth, and is identified as a significant contributor to instances of violence, whether directed towards oneself or others, in society. Recognizing the importance of tackling this issue, Akande is committed to promoting the well-being of young people, with the ultimate goal of reducing the overall crime rate in society.
Akande's dedication to this cause is reflected in his pursuit of a Ph.D., where his research focus is on developing a Christian counseling and human development model. This model aims to address and mitigate violent behavior among young people, contributing to a safer and healthier community.
As the Founder of C-Lead Africa, Sunday Akande brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the training session. The Centre for Leadership Development in Africa is known for its commitment to fostering positive change and development on the continent.
