We couldn’t lead the fight for mental health without our volunteers. Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation volunteers play a huge part in everything we do. Volunteering at Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation can be an incredibly rewarding and valuable experience.

Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation has so many options for volunteering your time to mental health. Volunteering not only allows you to help other individuals, but it can also benefit your mental health. When you volunteer and perform kind deeds, the reward center of your brain is activated. This makes you feel good about yourself, which in turn helps your mental health.

Volunteering for mental health can improve your social skills and help you meet new people. When you volunteer, you put yourself out in the community and tend to feel more connected with other people, which is a great way to aid in good mental health.

Many mentally disabled people simply do not have access to adequate care, or local superstition prevents them from receiving it. As a volunteer on a mental health or psychology placement, you will work to overcome these barriers and help communities embrace a mindset that approaches mental health matters with care and understanding.

Your assistance will go a long way to support the day-to-day operations in hospitals and community clinics, where you will be working alongside local placement staff. No experience is necessary to sign up, and duties may include rehabilitation exercises, therapeutic treatments, playing with children, entertaining and educating them through games, music, and art, painting murals, renovation work, and helping to develop fundraising initiatives.
