SERVICES
Mental health is integral to overall wellbeing, however beliefs and attitudes towards Mental illness often translate to it being less of a priority leading to limited help seeking and response.
Individuals sometimes have feelings of shame, fear, and isolation due to attitude towards illness, which makes it hard for people struggling to seek help. Wellness Psychology Uganda aims to be part of the global movement to end stigma experienced by people with mental health challenges.
We are participating by making psychoeducation easily accessible to people in all walks of life. We hope that exploring and clarifying attitudes and beliefs changes behavior and thus improves the outcomes of people with mental health challenges.
We believe that young people must be included in how we see and understand mental health.
Children and adolescents are sometimes excluded from conversations about mental health including interventions for change and yet many youth face mental health problems. Initiatives that shift the focus towards youth perspectives and experiences can be more inclusive and creative.
Our goal is to have innovative approaches to improve mental health therefore partnering with the youth is imperative.
We offer therapy for common emotional, behavioral concerns and psychological conditions through Individual (adult, child & adolescent), couple, family, and group therapy.
