Juvenile delinquency, drug and substance abuse, thuggery, cybercrime, depression, suicide etc are some of the many things that plague teenagers in our world today. Many of these outcomes are a result of societal anti-youth culture. Studies show that when juveniles are sentenced to adult prisons, they revert to a life of crime more quickly when released and commit more serious crimes than when they were released from juvenile facilities. Most youths are left to wade through life on their own without guidance or support and as such end up in ‘tough places’ At CTYDI, we provide support to teenagers going through tough times through emotional and psychological support, mentorship, empowerment and provision of wholesome alternatives.
