Thank you, Hon. Dr. Aceng, for elevating mental health as a national priority. A 70% increase in reported cases mirrors what we see every day across Uganda. We’re proud to partner with the Ministry of Health to scale proven, community-based depression treatment.

The first-ever #EastAfricanMentalHealthSummit2025 wrapped up Day 1 discussing community-based mental health care in crisis and humanitarian settings. As one moderator said, “Resilience isn’t the absence of trauma, it’s the presence of community, support, inclusion, and hope.” 💚

Most StrongMinds therapy groups begin and/or end with song and dance. And so it was very fitting that we got to take a mid-day mental health break, led in dance by Soul Foundation Uganda. #EastAfricanMentalHealthSummit2025

Frontline health workers are the first bridge to care. Today’s session on integrating mental health into primary healthcare explored how task-sharing, community engagement, and strong referral systems can help more people in distress get support sooner. 💚

We opened with a powerful story from Innocent. Once imprisoned and struggling with depression, he found healing in a therapy group led by a fellow inmate. Today, he’s a group leader himself, supporting 300+ others on their journey to recovery. #EastAfricanMentalHealthSummit2025
