The Mental Health for Youth Initiative (MHYI) proudly participated in the 2025 Annual Mental Health Symposium, which took place on Friday, October 3rd, 2025, at Hall 3, Novare Mall, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja.

This year’s symposium was themed “The Work Community and Mental Health” and focused on addressing the growing concerns of workplace stress, burnout, and the need for healthier, more supportive work environments.

Our Executive Director at Mental Health For Youth Initiative (MHYI), Lucy Enangha Abeng served as the Moderator of the session. Her role in leading this crucial conversation reflected MHYI’s ongoing commitment to advancing mental health advocacy beyond youth spaces and into professional environments where systemic change is needed.

Throughout the session, participants and panelists explored strategies for promoting mental well-being in the workplace, encouraging organizations to adopt policies that prioritize both productivity and employee wellness.

MHYI continues to champion initiatives that promote awareness, education, and actionable solutions for mental health across all sectors of society.
