Integrated Mental Health Initiative - IMI Mental health is everyone’s business –individuals, families, employers, employees, educators, and communities who all play their part.

Life is not merely being alive, but being well. ~ Marcus Valerius Martialis, 40 AD – 103 AD


Mental health is everyone’s business –individuals, families, employers, educators, and all communities who all had to play their part. The idea of forming a multi-disciplinary, multi-ideological, and interacting in union, using vital mental exercises and communicative human behavior to create healthy rela

tionships that turn out to be sources of mental wellness, emerged in 2005, and was documented in 2006 as a think tank and registered in March 17th, 2015 as community-based organization –registration number JJA/2/2015/00123. Eight (8) years later, the Integrated Mental-Health Initiative (IMI) accelerated its work towards realization of its vision, mission, and goal to most concrete levels with “action now” drive amidst steadily rising cases of mental illness, breakdown of social fibre, ecological breakdown, and humanly induced elimination of life systems. It aimed at identifying and pooling together underutilized mental health professionals, allied practitioners, and stakeholders to foster the wellbeing of communities through mindful use of ecological resources of every nature. IMI followed system’s perspective, in which multiplicity of ideals interacts together without bias for the benefit of each other and everything (or everybody) connected to it. It linked human-problem areas, communities, and their leadership through information gathering, evaluation and re-evaluation, diagnoses, and therapy design and administration, using its established net-work of healthy corps, volunteers, interns and experiences from collaborating institutions. It has had partnership arrangements with Makerere University; Restless Development; Uganda Buddhist Center; John Paul II Justice and Peace Center; National Association of Professional Environmentalists, and individual consultants. IMI joined partner agencies and affected communities in realizing local benefits from their local environment that, in many ways, caused mental healing, beginning with its own staff who were primary agents of change.

Global Mental Health: Very serious, this trend of state failure is also depicted through systematic derooting of institutions from purposeful natural existence, gradual suffocation of life, while those who persist to live will be mentally ill.

ACADEMICS: HOW TO LIVE AFTER RETIREMENT FROM PUBLIC SERVICE

By

Oweyegha-Afunaduula
28th September 2024.

I advise academics who retire to be humble and prepare to learn anew and continue passing on knowledge to the young and others in completely new ways. Do not allow yourselves to go into oblivion once out of the ivory tower. Never. You can be very useful in many other ways. You can even write books or articles for a non-academic world. Don't struggle to be slaves to money like the others. All you need now is to continue living your lives without stress. Making becoming rich by whatever means a goal will definitely take you into the decomposer chain earlier than you should. Just eat well, drink juices from natural fruits, avoid genetically modified foods and avoid conflicts. Live a less complicated life.

Remember there are certain things you used to do which you can no longer do. Give them up. There are also certain friends or acquaintances that used to add value to your life but will no longer do now that you are retired. They will even avoid you since as a retired person you may add nothing to their lives.

Do not mind some people laughing at you are no longer driving a car like you did. At least you enjoyed the experience of driving your own car. That was then. Now you are in new circumstances. Accept the change and move on.

There will be ailments that you never experienced that will now bother you. Confront them with humility. Don't say God has left you. Just make sure that the little money you have is for your health. After all even your children may leave far away from you, and your wife may decide to leave you and join her/your children. Don't worry as long as you can take care of your health and engage in some productive work, which is less demanding. God wants you alive, not dead. A dead person is useless to him although useful to life-death cycle.

I am writing this to you because I know many academics have failed to add 15 years to their lives after regiment. Many die in the first five years after retirement. I have added 15 to mine, so I can afford to tell you why have succeeded in doing so.

If you came to Nawaka my village you will find that I live a very humble life. I do what I know best: reading and writing, but I remember to do a little exercise. I do not allow conflicts within and outside my mind. What is not important in terms of adding value to my life I ignore.

I have already written articles for you on how to cure backache and heart related diseases without medicines. I hope the articles helped you. However, it is good once in a while to visit a hospital to check on how your organs are performing. But don't make it a habit to take too many medicines at the same time.

Drink a lot of water and bathe cold water. Do not drink cold water, but warm water.

Above all, love others without forgetting to lover yourself without being greedy or selfish. You cannot have a craze for everything and you will not develop complicated mental, emotional and psychological problems at one time or another.

Try to fit in the community you have entered after your long stay in the academia. However, do not overstretch yourself. After all the majority of the members don't you know very well since you were detached from them for decades as you pursued the academic career. Many are very young people whom you cannot relate too very well. Do what will not make them injure your personality and/or character. Remember once one's character is injured, it is not easy to reconstruct it.

My own experience after 15 years of being in retirement, is that it is more rewarding allocating time and energy in/to what you feel comfortable with. Don't care what other minds tell you. Care about what your mind tells you. After all after such a long time on earth, and away from the real world, few will be able to change your mindset. But they may influence you to give up smoking, drinking and womanizing or manizing, which will not add value to your life and can reduce it to nothing.

Remember academics belong to the academic world. There are no academics outside the academic world. Outside the academic world is the real world, which you must learn to live in.

A word to the wise is enough.

On the occasion of the World Aids Day, our position is that, although contracting HIV comes as a shock, a disappointment, and a barrier to living one's dream, experience has shown us that people living with HIV can live normal lives, fulfill long-term goals, and see their dreams pass.
