Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
We make mental health support accessible, local and free of stigma, increasing access and equity, reducing stigma and building partnerships across the health system.
Overview
We deliver mental health and psychosocial support interventions aimed at increasing access and equity, reducing stigma, offering holistic mental wellbeing, supporting communities and fostering strategic partnerships. We make support accessible, local and free of stigma through evidence-based interventions that train local people as mental health workers and facilitators, implement preventive programs in schools and workplaces, and extend qualified support through digital channels and integrated primary healthcare settings.
