Serenity empowers young people to become peer educators, building a supportive network that addresses issues like cyberbullying & digital addiction. Through digital well-being peer education, Serenity seeks to enhance awareness of excessive digital use on mental health, equip youth with coping strategies, and create a sustainable community focused on positive digital resilience.
