MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS CAMPAIGN IN EUTHINI-MZIMBA DISTRICT

26/03/2026

Kuwala Health Media Trust (KUHEM TRUST) CEO Solomon David Chomba, a Mental Health and Psychiatrist Clinical Officer and President of the Physician Assistants Union of Malawi (PAUM), has been a leading voice in advocating for mental health awareness in Malawi, particularly in Mzimba District where Euthini Health Centre is located.

His mental health awareness messaging typically focused on the following core themes:

1. Targeting Youth and Schools:
Chomba has emphasized the need for mental health awareness as a subject in schools to provide a foundation for young people to deal with long-term mental health issues. He observes that mental illness often manifests in students as acts of violence during disagreements.

2. Reducing Stigma:
A central message in his campaigns, such as the "Break the Silence" initiative, is that mental health is as important as physical health. In Euthini, He advocated for creating a compassionate community where seeking help is viewed as a strength, not a weakness.

3. Accessible Counseling:
Through His message in Euthini, Chomba promoted the importance of accessible counseling platforms so individuals can express their feelings freely without fear of judgment.

4. Community Integration:
His work as KUHEM TRUST CEO in rural communities supports the integration of mental health services into primary healthcare settings, like rural health centres, to ensure services are reachable for those in hard-to-reach areas.

Break the Silence, Not the Battle 🧡

Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it's often the silent struggle that many face alone. At Kuwala Health Media Trust, we're breaking the stigma around mental health in our communities.

Did you know that 1 in 4 people in Malawi will experience a mental health issue at some point in their lives? That's why we're dedicated to promoting mental wellness, providing support, and sharing stories of hope.

*Let's talk about it:*
- Anxiety and depression are common, but treatable
- You are not alone; there is help available
- Let's support each other to create a kinder, more compassionate community

Join the conversation! Share with us what mental health means to you. Use and let's break the silence together! 🌟

Mental health experts have faulted Zalewa Police officers who arrested a 68-year-old man for attempted su***de.

According to Rebecca Msoliza, Neno Police spokesperson, the suspect has been identified as Wisiki Kaliponda from Balaka district.

Msoliza told us that Kaliponda, who is now in police custody, wanted to end his life by throwing himself into the Shire River at Zalewa roadblock.

Meanwhile, Msoliza said Kaliponda will answer for the attempted su***de case in court next Tuesday.

However, David Chomba, a mental health expert, described the arrest as unacceptable, considering the rights of mentally sick patients.

Chomba explained that a mentally sick person often considers su***de as an option.

Speaking to MIJ Online, Chomba suggested the need to release Kaliponda from police custody and provide him with the treatment he requires.

Among others, Chomba called for the swift gazetting of the Mental Health Act of 2025 to address cases such as these.
