  1. Candice Lambert was raised by her parents, grandparents and neighbors, growing up in a township. She believes in social responsibility and social change and wants to help people deal with everyday personal issues that they find difficult to talk about.

Considering research and categories such as mental health, suicide prevention and HIV and AIDS, the YOUTH are dominating these categories. Which means there is a bigger focus and drive for Candice Lambert and the Kids Dialogue Team in the area of early childhood development and youth interventions; as well as Healthy Future Kids Foundation (NPO of Kids Dialogue).

For Youth Month June 16, Candice and her team focus on suicide prevention, helping young people deal with trauma, peer pressure, unemployment, financial instability, cyber bullying, anxiety, alcohol and substance abuse and many other mental health issues affecting young people which they find difficult to talk about.
