Adopted through a partnership between Healthcare For Generations (HFG) formerly Partnership for a HIV Free Generation and Waves for Change, Surf Therapy is particularly aimed at addressing complex challenges faced by youth, such as gender-based violence, early marriage, teenage pregnancies, poverty, and poor mental health
Key Components
- Structured Sessions: Participants undergo a series of sessions that include surfing, floating, and immersion activities, designed to build their confidence and social skills.
- Social Support Networks: The program encourages the formation of supportive relationships among participants, and between participants and coaches. This support network is critical for addressing issues like anxiety, depression, and social isolation.
- Measuring Impact: The effectiveness of Surf Therapy is evaluated using the World Health Organization-5 Wellbeing Index (WHO-5). This scale measures mental well-being at the start, midpoint, and end of the intervention, ensuring that any changes in participants’ mental health can be tracked and analyzed.
