We’re building a movement around mental health in crisis response. Want to be part of the change?

Communities in North-Eastern Kenya are facing devastating floods, displacing families, destroying livelihoods, and triggering deep psychological distress. Loss of homes, livestock, and general livelihood instability has left many struggling mentally.

We have been extending mental health support to those affected offering psychological first aid, counselling, psycho-education or workshops on coping strategies and skills. We are seeking long-term to join us provide first aid and response for those affected by climate disasters.

If you or your organization are passionate about mental health in crisis response, let's connect and make a difference today!.

🥳👏Today, we proudly celebrate a significant milestone—three (3) of our ambassadors have successfully psychoeducated over 50 students from Marsabit Mix Secondary School.

For the past three (3) months, we have been dedicated to empowering young people by training over 30 youths from Marsabit County as mental health ambassadors. We've been gradually mentoring them through providing exposure to undertake psychosocial programs as we guide and support them.

These achievements not only highlight our commitment to mental health but also paves the way for much-needed support in a region where mental health services are scarce.

As we continue to impact more lives and drive change, let's collaborate to make a lasting difference.

Caring for loved ones with mental health conditions can be an exhaustive and draining experience. Caregivers often endure stigma, stressors, and discrimination within the communities.

During our visits to six (6) homes (all identities concealed for confidentiality) Marsabit County, we've witnessed firsthand the resilience and dedication these families show while navigating the complexities of mental health care. We managed to psych educate, share practical coping strategies, and own self-care.

Their stories highlight the need for greater awareness, support, and understanding for both caregivers and individuals living with mental conditions.

Join us to reach more families! One family at a time.

As a pioneering mental health NGO operating in Marsabit County, we are dedicated to mentoring young Community-Based organizations (CBOs) to expand our scope of services and support vulnerable groups in the community. Recently, we met with officials from SIM CBO to discuss collaborative strategies to enhance mental health awareness across Marsabit county, a ward at a time.

In addition, we have been training these seven (7) officials along with over 25 youths from the same regions. Our goal is to foster a community that embraces and integrates mental health awareness into their cultural and daily lives.

We call upon like-minded individuals, stakeholders, governments, and fellow NGOs to join us in this significant endeavour. Together, we can bridge all mental health gaps among communities from Marsabit County and beyond.

Do you know how express/behaves in response to traumatic events?🤔

Moreover, an alarming 95% of trauma-related deaths are in low - and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Africa.
