In todayโs Mental-Up class, led by Ms Chikwa, we explored the mental health context in Zambia, from contributing factors, barriers, policies, collaboration and careers in mental health that ambassadors can leverage on in improving mental health.
While Zambia has made significant progress in recognizing mental health as a major public health concern, some gaps still exists. She also emphasized on the need to look at mental health from an holistic approach as mental health is dynamic, subjective and intersects with other health issues, thereby making it more complex.
The class was filled with insightful contributions from the ambassadors, and in closing, Ms Chikwa urged them to find their role, looking at the weight of mental health.
