    The \u201cSPARKI\u201d board game (Stigma Prevention through Awareness, Respect, and Knowledge) uses Swahili-language cards and illustrations to depict mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia and engage youth aged 10\u201314. Combining trivia, role-play, and group challenges fosters empathy and challenges mental health stigma. Predon will distribute the board game to primary schools where trained teacher facilitators can support gameplay and help students understand the issues raised by the game. By helping normalize conversations about mental health in a fun, age-appropriate way, SPARKI aims to cultivate lasting empathy, promote help-seeking behaviours, and ultimately improve overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
