💨 Abstract

Waves for Change (W4C), a South African non-profit, promotes youth mental health through its "You’re Right on Time" campaign, focusing on resilience and emotional well-being, especially for adolescents in high-stress environments. The initiative coincides with World Mental Health Day, emphasizing the "second window of neurological opportunity" (ages 9–14) for developing coping skills. Research shows 90% of South African youth lack mental health access, risking trauma.
