🌍💙 International Adolescent Health Week 💙🌍
📅 13th – 19th October 2025

This week is all about raising awareness of the health and wellbeing of young people aged 10–24 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 – because adolescence is a crucial stage of life that shapes health for the future! 🚀

💡 Why adolescent health matters:

👉 1 in 6 people worldwide is an adolescent 🌎
👉 Good health during these years sets the foundation for adulthood 🧠💪
👉 Supporting young people means empowering the leaders of tomorrow 🌟

🧠 Key areas of adolescent health:

❤️ Mental health – anxiety, depression, and stress are common; support and open conversations are vital 🗣️
🥦 Nutrition & physical activity – healthy eating and regular exercise build lifelong habits 🏃‍♀️🍎
🚭 Risk prevention – reducing smoking, alcohol, and substance use helps protect future health 🚫
👩‍⚕️ Access to healthcare – making sure services are youth-friendly, confidential, and inclusive 🏥
🤝 Social wellbeing – friendships, education, and safe environments all support healthy development 🎓👫

🌟 How can we support adolescents?

✔️ Listen without judgment 👂
✔️ Encourage healthy routines 🛌🥗
✔️ Promote kindness & self-confidence 💜
✔️ Share information and raise awareness 📢
✔️ Celebrate young people’s achievements 🎉

💬 This year’s theme is about empowering youth voices – making sure young people are heard in decisions about their health, education, and communities.

Let’s work together to build a world where every adolescent can thrive! 💙✨
