The newly integrated area on mental health continues to gain momentum as we continue with its integration in our program areas. With a myriad of sociol-economic issues within the households, mental well-being should be prioritized for improved outcomes.
Maternal mental well-being for example is important for optimum lactation and child growth and development. Intensified engagement on mental health is another area that has indicated great need for psychosocial support. In these early stages of integration, we are focusing on creating awareness and referral mechanisms on mental health for our beneficiaries in all program areas.
During the month of August, we were glad to have various sessions for some school going members of selected household with remarkable outcomes.
