Mental Health First
Before youth can lead, they must first heal. At Brave Generation, healing comes before everything else. War leaves invisible wounds, and without addressing them, no young person can fully learn, connect, or lead. That’s why mental health is the first and most essential pillar of our work. *charity: water partners with institutions such as Charitable Solutions, LLC and the National Gift Annuity Foundation to manage charitable gift annuities.
