An outreach at BEKAM Primary School Kiteezi
Empowering young minds starts with early mental health education. By teaching children about mental well-being, we equip them to face life's challenges with resilience and understanding.
Research indicates that school-based mental health programs can lead to improved emotional regulation and a decrease in behavioral issues. Join us in fostering a stigma-free world.
If you're interested in our outreach programs for your community, workplace, or school, reach out to us through our social media channels.

#MentalHealthMatters #Inclusion
Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals often face significant challenges in accessing mental health services due to communication barriers and societal misconceptions.
To foster inclusivity, it's essential to provide tailored communication support such as sign language interpreters and captioning services while collaborating with organizations that advocate for the Deaf community.
By understanding and addressing these specific needs, we can create a mental health landscape that is truly accessible to all.
We are deeply grateful for the relentless work that both Pamela Bugembe and Isaac Muhumuza are doing to support and uplift these communities.

Mental Disorder teaching
26% of young women experience a Common Mental Disorder, such as anxiety or depression – almost three times more than young men. 1 in 7 young women (16-24) have PTSD (compared with 3.6% of young men). 72% of those in suicide counselling with NSPCC are girls.
It's important to have mental health awareness conversations as a preventative measure but also to help those that are struggling know that they are not alone.
They can get help and cope with life. Do you need us to have these conversations at your school/ institution?

Session about Mental Health.
Participating in team sports or group fitness activities fosters a sense of community and belonging, essential for emotional well-being.
The support network provided by these communal activities plays a vital role in reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness, which are often associated with depression and anxiety.

One Friday afternoon our Programs Relation Manager and CEO traveled To Kasana Luwero to teach the Women's community about mental health wellbeing, mental illness and positive coping mechanisms.
