Coordinator Spotlight: Dr. Adeoti Gbemisola Adeniran – Nigeria

WorldEd Foundation is proud to recognize Dr. Adeoti Gbemisola Adeniran, one of our outstanding Community Coordinators in the Parent-Led Mental Health Advocacy Training, in partnership with HAN University’s International Social Work students.

A Lecturer and Researcher at the University of Medical Sciences, Ondo, Dr. Adeoti brought both academic rigor and heartfelt commitment to this initiative. Her training session, held on April 25th, empowered parents in her community to better understand and respond to their children’s mental health needs.

Key Highlights from Her Report:

• Parents were grateful to learn practical strategies to support their children’s emotional well-being.

• The training created a space for open dialogue around mental health — a topic often overlooked in communities.

• Dr. Adeoti emphasized that life’s increasing complexity continues to take a toll on mental health, making parental awareness and involvement more critical than ever.

Despite challenges with scheduling, she executed a meaningful and impactful session, leaving parents more equipped and confident in their roles as mental health advocates.

Thank you, Dr. Adeoti, for your exceptional work, dedication to youth empowerment, and contribution to this important mission. Your efforts are a powerful reminder that local leadership drives lasting change.
