Despite mental health being declared a human right, the marginalized communities’ access to care and resources remains a major cause for concern. Addressing mental health for marginalized communities is part of our mission and over time, we have carried out activities to advocate for, educate, and enlighten the communities we serve, while connecting them to resources that help them manage their mental health.
We deem it fit to tailor our 2025 mental health events to benefit marginalized communities in our quest to bring to light, the very real challenges they face in accessing effective care, while also educating and enlightening the population we serve on mental health and linking them to available resources. The thrust of our Mental Health program is on culturally competent interventions because in mental health, one size does not fit all.
