20 yrs ago today (12th April 2002) BasicNeeds Trust formally began operations in 🇬🇭 implementing 'New Initiatives in Mental Health and Development' from whence emerged @BasicNeedsGh. It's been a journey of immense success! I am proud to have been a part of it for 18 yrs now!
Did you know? • Psychosis frequently has its onset in a person’s teens or early 20's • There are disproportionately high rates of psychosis among people who are homeless in African settings • The incarceration of people with psychosis is a common & pressing human rights issue
Check out this brilliant new podcast from @Ember_mh! The first episode features @PDOkenya's @Mwenja - we're proud to have worked alongside Ember & @VitolFoundation to support amazing community #MentalHealth initiatives like this one 🙌 @CBM_Global @SHMFoundation @MHInnovation
Community Mental Health Forums are key for facilitating community engagement and collaboration, enabling conversations about common mental health issues. Find out more in this @CBM_Global #GoodPracticeGuide cbmuk.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
For over 15 years, CBM has been working to improve the lives of people with #mentalhealth conditions in the worlds' poorest places – working in partnership with communities, health authorities and people with lived experience.
#MentalHealth conditions, NTDs & disability are interconnected: ➡️People with NTDs are at higher risk for mental health conditions ➡️People with mental health conditions are at higher risk of an NTD Find out more in @CBM_Global's #GoodPracticeGuide @ bit.ly/2TFLjrC

80% of people with mental illness live in developing countries, where most have little or no access to treatment or support and many face extreme poverty, stigma, discrimination and abuse. Find out what CBM is doing to change this @ cbmuk.org.uk/what-we-do/men… #MentalHealthAwareness
This interactive app will provide #mentalhealth first aid for students and will help provide insights into prevalence of disorders in the university population. @BasicNeedsKenya @KenyattaUni @chukauni @nouscims @Ember_mh #BasicNeedsArif_bot
We're excited that @BasicNeedsKenya has launched a #mentalhealth chatbot, as part of our project supporting students at @KenyattaUni @chukauni with or at risk of mental illness. @nouscims @Ember_mh #BasicNeedsArif_bot
When PEERS offer each other SUPPORT, feelings of isolation & rejection can be replaced with hope, a sense of agency & belief in personal control. For you, why is #PeerSupport important in #MentalHealth? Let us know! Download @CBM_Global #GoodPracticeGuide bit.ly/3iHcZXr
