MOGADISHU (Baraarug) – Mental health care is an essential part of overall personal well-being, yet in Somalia it remains one of the most neglected areas of public health.

This week, the Baraarug Podcast explores the challenges Somali youth face in maintaining mental well-being, the impact of societal pressures, and the steps needed to build awareness and support.
