Young people who use substances often live under the weight of stigma and untreated mental health struggles, trapped in a cycle few can break alone.

Community outreach workers become their bridge to care, meeting them with patience, trust, and hope for healing. 🌱

SCDI Vietnam @scdivietnam.bsky.social · Sep 10

🌱 For many young people we've met, opening up about mental health takes courage, especially with the weight of stigma.

Through care and understanding, trust begins to grow, and with it, the first steps toward a healing journey that can truly last.

SCDI Vietnam @scdivietnam.bsky.social · Sep 8

🌱 Mental health interventions need more than expertise - they need empathy, patience & companionship.

At SCDI, we were fortunate to work with our dedicated "companions" who made mental health care accessible & restored hope.

📚 With a new school year ahead, we're once again reminded that preparing children is more than notebooks and pencils.

Our August was also about nurturing dreams, easing family burdens, and strengthening communities so every child can step into class with confidence. 💚

🌱 SCDI’s Breaking the Cycle is about changing that, with education and the quiet strength of those who walk beside them.

📚 Education is a sustainable path out of poverty, but many kids still face health, paperwork, or financial barriers.

In 2024, SCDI continued working with families & communities to ensure every child can go to school, stay there & thrive in a safe, opportunity-rich environment.

🎯 Supporting in getting health insurance is one of SCDI’s key interventions to reduce the healthcare cost burden for poor families.

🌱In 2024, we continued these efforts by supporting insurance access, guiding effective use, and covering extra costs to move closer to achieving #UHC.
