The school said it hopes to raise children devoid of mental disorders, build children with self esteem, as well as educate them on the signs of hidden depression, post traumatic disorders and how to tackle them. “We need to be equipped with the right information to identify the signs, make a difference and a positive impact in the lives of these young ones, and even adults who are so affected.”Speaking on ways to build a child’s self-esteem, one of the guest speakers and Psychotherapist, Gbemisola Ogunrinde, said self esteem issue was mentally related, as some persons may see themselves differently from who they really are.

She further noted that “bullying is another issue that can start young and last a lifetime. Children and teens that are bullied, teased, and put down develop a negative self-image that can carry on over into their adult lives.
