Bringing mental health awareness, basic screenings, and referral information to communities that need them most — through partner-delivered wellness camps.
In many Kenyan communities, the word "mental health" still carries deep stigma. People in informal settlements, rural areas, and underserved neighbourhoods have the least access to care and the most exposure to psychosocial stress — financial instability, overcrowding, job insecurity.
Our community wellness camps, delivered through partner organisations, aim to bring basic mental health awareness and screening to these communities — meeting people where they are.
We work with local community leaders, churches, and schools to identify areas of need and spread the word about upcoming camps. Trust is everything — people attend because their community leaders vouch for the programme.
Partner-led sessions in local languages cover the basics: what mental health is, common signs of depression and anxiety, how financial stress affects wellbeing, and where to seek help. The goal is to demystify mental health and reduce stigma.
Trained partner clinicians use standardised screening tools to identify individuals who may benefit from further professional support. This is not diagnosis — it's a gateway to connecting people with the help they might need.
Those identified as needing further support are connected with practitioners in our partner network. We aim to follow up through local contacts to ensure people actually access the care they've been referred to.
We welcome clinicians, educators, and community organisers who want to help bring mental health awareness to underserved communities across Kenya.
