NCDs are a socially transmitted diseases
Cancer, diabetes (both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes), chronic respiratory diseases (such as asthma), obesity, congenital and acquired heart disease and many endemic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) all affect children and/or start in childhood. Children and young people are often targeted by companies advertising fast food, tobacco or alcohol use, and many grow up today in environments that are not conducive to adopting healthy lifestyles (e.g. participating in sport).

The NCDs share modifiable behavioral risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, and alcohol use. Air pollution has rapidly emerged as an important risk factor for NCDs. The behavioral and environmental risk factors lead to overweight and obesity, raised blood pressure and raised cholesterol, subsequently increasing the occurrence of CVDs, diabetes, cancers, and chronic respiratory diseases.

Policy statement & Youth participation
NAPSWI and Nada India participated in WHO web-based consultation on ‘Draft first Report of The WHO Independent High- Level Commission on Non-Communicable Diseases in May 2018.
6 key messages for improvements of the report Alcohol is a major risk factor for NCDs as well as for the global burden of disease in general. Evidence shows that there is a strong link between alcohol and NCDs, particularly cancer, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, pancreatitis and diabetes and these findings support calls by WHO to implement evidence-based strategies to reduce harmful use of alcohol. Alcohol is also a major obstacle to sustainable development, adversely affecting 13 of 17 SDGs.

Mentor is bacon of light that helps mentee to come out of darkness. Torch is wisdom that mentor is carrying, telling the mentee that if you fall that I am here to pick you up. Mentor has experience which helps the mentee.
#covid19 Lockdown experience has taught us that we have more time for our families, now we perceive things from different point of view. Our normal behavior has changed and it will further change once the lockdown opens. There is still a chance of falling back in the same pattern of life. What makes us talk about our personal issues? Do you think there is a safe space available with us? Mentor creates a safe space for mentee to come out from his problems and share them as his comfort level.

Mental Health & Youth
Prof. Neera Agnimitra, in her discussion, at NAPSWI Mental Health symposium during World Mental Health Congress 2017 focused upon mental health needs of youth.
"She emphasized that mental health concerns of youth at workplace can be addressed much better if the interventions happen before youth enters workplaces. She considered Universities and colleges to be the key areas requiring urgent focus of mental health interventions. "
Sharing examples of mental health concerns of youth within her institution, she also broadly discussed how many young people today suffer from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and how they immediate need for gratification impacts their behaviors. Prof. Agnimitra stated the need for urgent action vis a vis mental health in educational institutions. She also cautioned that mere administrative procedures in form of establishment of committees or recruitment of counselors may not be enough because what we need is an environment which de-stigmatizes help seeking and allows for openness in sharing own worries, problems and mental health concerns. She urged NAPSWI to act in this direction.
