Antionette shared some brief statistics highlighting the extent the number of young people
suffering some form of mental health. It is estimated that 40% of people aged 24 years and
under suffer some form of mental health.

Antionett's presentation included a short video showing three live cases on issues leading to
poor mental health.

YouTurn assists with child safety, supporting the homeless, general mental health and in
suicide prevention. It was interesting to note eating disorders, bullying and financial issues
were also raised.

During her presentation Antionette mentioned that in earlier times whilst living in South
Africa she travelled to Texas USA as Rotary Youth Exchange Student.
Thank you Antionette for a professional and informative presentation, on a subject that is
important to us all and a major focus to our Club.
