Children playing outdoors — early prevention and wellbeing

What it is

WHISKids

WHISKids promotes mental health, wellbeing and resilience for children and young people worldwide. Globally, 1 in 7 10–19 year-olds experiences a mental disorder — WHISKids exists to change that.

WHISKids addresses one of the most under-met needs in global health: children’s mental wellbeing. The programme partners with schools, paediatric services, and community organisations to deliver age-appropriate, prevention-first interventions.
