the problem

Youth are facing mental health challenges at an unprecedented rate.

Between school stress, social pressure, and everything happening in the world, it’s no wonder so many young people are struggling with their mental health. But most don’t get the help they need. Either because they don’t know where to go or they’re afraid to ask.

By partnering with Koko, you can help support young people in need.
