Stress, alcohol, and drug use are some of the factors that contribute to mental health problems.

The Hephzibah Treatment Center is one of the facilities that accommodates youth as young as 15 years old grappling to overcome these psychological problems.

The center on the outskirts of Windhoek was established as a solution to positively change lives, using the family unit as the foundation.

In the ongoing battle against drug abuse, the Ohangwena Region is taking a firm stance, with the police having confiscated drugs worth N$1.7 million this year. 

This was revealed during an anti-drug awareness campaign organised by the non-profit organisation Fighting Against Drug Use in Villages in Ongenga.

The eighth edition of the anti-drug campaign, which was well attended, highlights the community's eagerness to fight drug abuse.
