Youth Concerns

Young people are society's builders. Amid economic, academic, and employment crises and the pressures of daily life, we took it upon ourselves — however modestly — to shed light on the challenges facing youth and to show that they matter. Young men are often shaped by a culture of masculinity that discourages self-expression — a harmful inheritance that sometimes costs them dearly when faced with distress or unbearable pressures. We created this space to offer advice and guidance to those who have the willingness and courage to step forward and participate. The Youth Concerns session was presented by psychotherapist Dr. Abeer Al-Aawar, a licensed practitioner with extensive experience in her field.
