The YOLO (You Only Live Once) Youth Concert for Mental Health Awareness is an innovative and impactful initiative by Better You Africa Initiative. Set to take place on December 13, 2024, this event will bring together over 1,000 youth aged 18-35 from across Lagos, Nigeria, to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, and foster a supportive community.

Through live music, inspirational talks, interactive workshops, and engaging activities, we aim to create a platform where young people can learn about mental well-being, share their stories, and connect with one another in meaningful ways.

Why It Matters
Mental health challenges affect millions of young Nigerians, yet 90% of those in need do not receive proper care due to stigma and lack of resources. Our YOLO Youth Concert addresses these barriers by fostering conversations, providing resources, and promoting proactive steps toward mental well-being.

Our Goals
Raise awareness about mental health issues.
Reduce stigma and misconceptions.
Provide accessible mental health resources.
Build a community of empowered and informed youth.
