Mental health matters.
The World Family Children Foundation is an organization made of young people. Many of our volunteers are students who struggle with stressful home environments, academic pressures, and uncertainty about their futures. It is not unusual for these volunteers— as well the communities and individuals they work with— to face serious mental health challenges. We want to do our best to help.
