We were honored to be represented by Dr. Jean Pierre NDAGIJIMANA and Zara Bracegirdle at the Shamiri Summit ’25 - An annual convening hosted by the Shamiri Institute that brings together researchers, policymakers, educators, technologists, funders, and emerging leaders committed to strengthening youth mental health across the continent.
This year’s theme, “Wires & Signals,” explored the systems we build and the messages they send about wellbeing, belonging, and hope. It challenged us all to consider how to design and scale systems of care that are efficient and deeply human.
With tracks spanning Science, Policy, Education, Tech, and the Doers Track, the Summit created space for rich conversations, inspiring keynotes, practical workshops, and meaningful networking. We had a great opportunity to connect with fellow leaders, innovators, and researchers who are pushing the boundaries of what youth mental health support can look like.
For us at Solid Minds Counselling Clinic , participating in the Summit reinforces our commitment to advancing the mental health conversation, building meaningful partnerships, and co-creating sustainable, scalable solutions. We believe in a future where care is accessible, empathetic, and rooted in community and platforms like the Shamiri Summit help us move closer to that vision.
Here’s to more collaboration, innovation, and care.
