MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE RWANDA - MHIR

Persistent yelling on children affect them psychologically.

We need to diversify the field of clinical psychology!! UNC's Diversifying Clinical Psych meeting is a great opportunity for diverse students to learn tips to get into the field!! Info at: clinicalpsych.unc.edu/diversifying-p…

Having strong self-esteem is not the same thing as being happy all the time—it's about accepting all of your feelings, the good and the bad bit.ly/2Yz1qaV

@mhi_rwanda Thank you. You will receive a reminder before the #HermesHomme live show on June 22nd.

In « Narrative Therapy » it is important that the person describes and names his/her problematic situation in a culturally appropriate and understandable manner. In Rwanda, people will tend to use proverbs to describe and name their subjective experience and sufferance.

I borrowed this gracious read from the @GSNAfrica who have incredible books with stories explaining #mentalhealth. There'll soon be an online catalog for you to have access to them. 🧠
