Promoting Adolescent Mental Health Through Responsible Media Reporting and Community Engagement

Over the past two months, RHEST organized a series of interaction programs on Adolescent Mental Health and Responsible Media Reporting in Sindhupalchowk, Makwanpur, Nepalgunj, and Dhangadi. The primary objective was to raise awareness about adolescent mental health, promote responsible and sensitive media reporting, and highlight the importance of journalists' own mental wellbeing, as media professionals are often exposed to stressful and traumatic situations in the course of their work.

The programs engaged 83 journalists (16 in Sindhupalchowk, 28 in Makwanpur, and 39 in Nepalgunj and Dhangadi) and 228 community members (59 in Sindhupalchowk, 75 in Makwanpur, and 94 in Nepalgunj and Dhangadi). Through interactive discussions and training sessions, participants explored adolescent mental health challenges, stigma reduction, self-care, nutrition, healthy lifestyles, digital wellbeing, and the importance of using sensitive, non-stigmatizing language when reporting on mental health. The initiative also created a valuable space for journalists to reflect on their own emotional wellbeing while strengthening their capacity to report on mental health issues ethically and compassionately.

These efforts are paving the way for a future where adolescent mental health is recognized, prioritized, and supported by families, communities, and institutions alike.

The objective of this program was to promote early detection of cervical cancer through Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid (VIA) screening and ensure timely referral for further diagnosis and treatment. A total of 61 women received VIA services in the camp, including parents of RHEST-supported students, advocacy group members, other community members, and FCHVs.

We are proud to share a glimpse of our recent mental health awareness and counselling program held in Manahari Rural Municipality on 26th, 27th and 28thChaitra, 2082 . With support from a counsellor at TPO Nepal, our RHEST Alum Group organized interactive orientation sessions across two days, one held at a school and another in the community. Participants were guided through key topics including basic mental health concepts, common mental health issues and their signs and symptoms, the stigma that often prevents people from seeking help, practical coping strategies, and available support services. Those identified with mental health concerns during the orientation were then invited for individual counselling the following day, ensuring no one was left without support. Programs like this remind us that mental health matters and that no one should face their struggles alone.

The RHEST Advocacy Group of Tanahun provided support in planning, coordination, and implementation of the VIA (Visual Inspection with Acetic Acid) camp conducted in collaboration with the Health Section of Shuklagandaki Municipality and Thaprek Health Post to increase awareness and support early detection and prevention of cervical cancer among women residing in Thaprek, Shuklagandaki municipality, ward-01. The Advocacy group member also worked closely with Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) to ensure effective dissemination of information about the camp throughout the community.

A total of 32 women received counseling on cervical cancer and VIA services during the program. Teachers and FCHVs also took the VIA service, which encouraged other community members to access the screening with greater confidence. This program helped boost the Advocacy Group members’ confidence to coordinate and organize health programs with the local government, and to promote health awareness at the community level.

RHEST Advocacy Group, in collaboration with local schools, Friday Teachers, and Raksirang Rural Municipality, Makwanpur organized an Awareness Mela on 26th Magh 2082. Five schools participated, each showcasing visual and oral presentations on key topics such as menstruation, child marriage, human trafficking, healthy food habits, and child labour.

Two students from each school presented these topics from individual stalls set up on the school premises. A monitoring team from the Municipality’s Education Section, along with the Chief Administrative Officer, evaluated the stalls. Following the evaluation, winners were awarded gift hampers, and all participating schools received tokens of appreciation. Additionally, the Advocacy Group members set up a separate stall where participants were asked questions related to the presented issues to further assess students’ understanding. This was conducted through a fun ring‑throw activity. Students demonstrated strong knowledge of the topics they presented. The event helped strengthen students’ presentation skills and boost their confidence. The program also supported the Advocacy Group’s ongoing efforts to conduct programs in coordination with the local government and schools.
