@ChiromoHospGrp @NyambuJess @fidel_dola @angelmahehu @Olekirongo @kyarimpa_rose @MuthoniStevens @Drfishmuchiri @MindCbo @MissMihari @JoviaKusima We start by converging at a central place where we break the barriers of when we say it’s okay not to be ok ascribed meaning to when gold breaks to pieces it never becomes clay nor looses its value but only becomes small sparkles of gold.

Q6. How can we as a society reduce the stigma associated with mental health as well as foster stronger support networks within minority communities? @NyambuJess @fidel_dola @angelmahehu @Olekirongo @kyarimpa_rose @MuthoniStevens @Drfishmuchiri @MindCbo @MissMihari @JoviaKusima @moseokechi @Lucas_fondo @faryus88 @kinyaNGitonga @OkuluEmelda @TJMusyoki @BDiana1st @cevensia254 @MAbubanks @njoki_beryl @OgolaMartin3 @AphlyneTurfy @dennism_musyoki @Ashika_gladys @Netto254 @ANguthuku @chikomborero_f @LogoseJovia @safespacearena @Rev_soglo @Lukayi_Chosen @dr_RaymondM @ChegeGriffin @karuushayy @shalomluvu95528 @chif_abuga @_naed_ @ZainabSirad @nduta_Lucille @WanjikuNE #MentalHealthMatters #Tufunguke

@ChiromoHospGrp @milcah_olando @wesleyochieng6 @MMonicamusyoka @Zakiahassan15 @millynjuguna @ConRadJames101 @cheche_oyando @karnavpanda @LeuJohnson @KagayaTracy @w_mwangi19 @tikiglad @PDOkenya @TheDIANetwork @CDisability @CBM_Global @MOH_Kenya @NSVRC @GBVnet @InuaMlemavu @InuaDada This will inform a mindset shift in how we tailor conversations around mental health as we invest resources to curate institutions of practice and the infrastructure to sustain the mental health narrative aware of our unique set of challenges.

@ChiromoHospGrp @milcah_olando @wesleyochieng6 @MMonicamusyoka @Zakiahassan15 @millynjuguna @ConRadJames101 @cheche_oyando @karnavpanda @LeuJohnson @KagayaTracy @w_mwangi19 @tikiglad @PDOkenya @TheDIANetwork @CDisability @CBM_Global @MOH_Kenya @NSVRC @GBVnet @InuaMlemavu @InuaDada Invest more on research to come up with an African-centered approach to dealing with mental health disorders in an Afrocentric context of practice. There are gaps existing in the way we contextualize some conversations on mental health and bridging this gap will go a long way.

@ChiromoHospGrp @NyambuJess @fidel_dola @angelmahehu @Olekirongo @kyarimpa_rose @MuthoniStevens @Drfishmuchiri @MindCbo @MissMihari @JoviaKusima @MoseOkechi @lucas_fondo @faryus88 @kinyaNGitonga @TheRetreatRehab @CbtKenya @oopenspace @MedicalPsych_KE @pychiatric Yes. Social-economic factors play a critical role in influencing this disparity which with other demographic factors of distance to the place one can assess the services lower the number of people seeking services in an already costly field in most cases.

Q4. Are there disparities in access to mental health services for minority groups? If so, why? @NyambuJess @fidel_dola @angelmahehu @Olekirongo @kyarimpa_rose @MuthoniStevens @Drfishmuchiri @MindCbo @MissMihari @JoviaKusima @moseokechi @Lucas_fondo @faryus88 @kinyaNGitonga @OkuluEmelda @TJMusyoki @BDiana1st @cevensia254 @MAbubanks @njoki_beryl @OgolaMartin3 @AphlyneTurfy @dennism_musyoki @Ashika_gladys @Netto254 @ANguthuku @chikomborero_f @LogoseJovia @safespacearena @Rev_soglo @Lukayi_Chosen @dr_RaymondM @ChegeGriffin @karuushayy @shalomluvu95528 @chif_abuga @_naed_ @ZainabSirad @nduta_Lucille @WanjikuNE @milcah_olando #MentalHealthMatters #Tufunguke

Has led to low number of people seeking mental services.

Q2. How do systemic issues like discrimination, and socioeconomic disparities contribute to these challenges? @NyambuJess @fidel_dola @angelmahehu @Olekirongo @kyarimpa_rose @MuthoniStevens @Drfishmuchiri @MindCbo @MissMihari @JoviaKusima @moseokechi @Lucas_fondo @faryus88 @kinyaNGitonga @OkuluEmelda @TJMusyoki @BDiana1st @cevensia254 @MAbubanks @njoki_beryl @OgolaMartin3 @AphlyneTurfy @dennism_musyoki @Ashika_gladys @Netto254 @ANguthuku @chikomborero_f @LogoseJovia @safespacearena @Rev_soglo @Lukayi_Chosen @dr_RaymondM @ChegeGriffin @karuushayy @shalomluvu95528 @chif_abuga @_naed_ @ZainabSirad @nduta_Lucille @WanjikuNE @milcah_olando #MentalHealthMatters #Tufunguke

@ChiromoHospGrp @GoodwylO @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra The new currency in human capital management in the new work place is platforms that create employee assistance. RIO speaks volumes and such can be used in workplace for suicide prevention talks or sensitizations.

@ChiromoHospGrp @GoodwylO @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra Creating platforms of awareness, sensitization and equipping men to the reality of our current dispensation. Advocacy in the decriminalization of suicide.

Top of the morning, and welcome back to the 41st #MindfulMondays X chat where we demistify Mental Health. Topic today: Zero Male Suicide With: @GoodwylO @TJMusyoki @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra Let's begin

@ChiromoHospGrp @GoodwylO @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra By first defining the term on the context of what being a man is. Today the society is creating a system of isolation where every man is for himself and because of this identity crisis and so to belong or look cool men are seeking sublime presentation of an identity they are not

Q5. How can we create a culture where men feel comfortable seeking help? #ZeroMaleSuicide @GoodwylO @TJMusyoki @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra #Tufunguke

@ChiromoHospGrp @GoodwylO @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra Propagates a fallacious narrative void of the creed that makes men to be men.

@ChiromoHospGrp @GoodwylO @YouthSpaceF @MW_withasmile @wesleyochieng6 @Netto254 @njambi_gacheru @w_mwangi19 @MaurynPatra Sensitization on issues suicide and topics surrounding it. Decriminalization of suicide. Going also to the root of the Afrocentric pedagogy of men and the ideology of masculine energy. Founding of strong ties of family because cracks and holes in family as a unit of society

Acceptance of the reality of days for oneself and days against oneself prepares a man to adjusting to a stance either to avoid, alter, adapt or accept the flow of life independent of seasons. From this construct can we address the menace.
