The comic story of Magnificent Mei and friends

Overview

The Comic Story of Magnificent Mei and Friends was developed as part of the WHO-UNICEF Helping Adolescents Thrive initiative. The story is for adolescents aged 10-14 years. Through a combination of images and text, the story presents real-life scenarios and situations young adolescents face in their everyday lives. By promoting social and emotional learning and skills practice, the story and the accompanying Teacher’s Guide aim to help promote psychosocial well-being, prevent mental health conditions, and reduce risky behaviours in adolescents. Combined with classroom-based activities and lessons, comics can help support students’ social and emotional learning.
