Men's mental health is often overlooked due to societal expectations and traditional gender roles that discourage their emotional expression.

Many men feel pressured to appear strong and self-reliant, which can lead to the suppression of emotions and reluctance to seek help.

Representing MRI organization, our Executive Director Hon Bett Sarisar was privileged to serve a session within the framework of Men's Mental Health-Drugs and Substance Abuse Nexus and recovery processes in our vulnerable communities.

The remarkable event brought together old and young men from villages of Nderen, Ketonik, Sorghum, Lelakwe, Tirita and Kiptenden in Melelo Ward as we marked Men's Mental Health Month which is observed every June.

Bett took the podium to raise awareness about the mental health challenges facing men in the community and encouraged them to open up and seek help as we look forward to strong partnerships that shall look into some empowerment projects.

Special thanks to our lead partner Twaweza Afrika Foundation. Elite Social Development Program CBO (ESODEP), Enosogon Sub-location Assistant Chief, Elders and the great people of Melelo Ward, we are so much grateful and humbled for your support.

Spending time in outdoors, taking time out of the everyday to surround yourself with greenery and living things can be one of life’s great joys – and recent research also suggest it’s good for your body and your brain.

Scientists have found that spending two hours a week in nature is linked to better health and well-being. It’s maybe not entirely surprising then that some patients are increasingly being prescribed time in nature and community gardening projects as part of “green prescriptions” by the NHS. In Shetland for example, islanders with depression and anxiety may be given “nature pescriptions”, with doctors there recommending walks and activities that allow people to connect with the outdoors.
