Did You Know?
Low mental health literacy, learned attitudes and beliefs about mental illness limit access to care for many people in Uganda and countries similar to it. This is a major challenge given that mental health and substance use challenges are leading cause of disability globally according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Many mental health challenges show warning signs in a person’s teen years and 20% of children worldwide have a mental illness.
Wellness Psychological Services Uganda is committed to improving mental health and mental health services in Uganda and expanding its approaches beyond our borders. We believe that focusing public mental health efforts in Sub-Saharan Africa caters for the largest population which improves the mental health of all. We are working towards this in a variety of ways.
What We Do
We offer therapy for common emotional, behavioral concerns and psychological conditions through Individual (adult, child & adolescent), couple, family, and group therapy. Our themes include but are not limited to personal growth, anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal conflict, anger management, addiction, grief/loss, career guidance and/or adjustment issues.
We feel a responsibility to our community. We are committed to promoting a healthy community by extending psychological services through community initiatives. Our current project is The Wellness Project a child mental health awareness school program designed for secondary schools in Uganda.
We initiate and facilitate activities that help raise awareness about mental health. This includes, talks, workshops, that focus on psycho-education and prevention. We aim to reach a wide range of people, including those who are interested in learning more about our services, those who may want to know more about how to help a friend and those who do not feel comfortable seeking therapy.
