D.I.S.S.O (for Dialogue, Inclusion, Support, Solidarity, Openness) creates safe spaces rooted in a traditional model of open dialogue called Waxtaan for youth 13-24. The innovation operates across three axes of youth socialization: in schools through Weeto Hubs with trained focal points and referral systems; in communities via awareness-raising campaigns and parental workshops led by community leaders; and digitally through a chatbot and youth-driven media campaigns. D.I.S.S.O’s goal is to reduce stigma, improve mental health literacy, and build strong, supportive networks for youth.
