ct:- Kenya has no policy on tackling mental health challenges amongst adolescents,thus perpetuating adolescent pregnancy which is costing the country’s GDP US $168, 028, 000. From 2018 to 2021, 1.4 million adolescents got pregnant, driving up the cases of maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Kenya launched its Mental Health Policy in 2015 and its subsequent regulations to control adolescent pregnancy. However, the ambitious Kenya Mental Health Action Plan 2021-2025 risks missing its targets because of heightened political activities in the country currently. This paper proposes that the national government declares Adolescent mental health a national public health emergency to stop the resultant intergenerational cycle of poverty and poor health outcomes.
