Although mental health is a fundamental component of health, recognition of mental disorders and awareness about its importance is limited. Stigma and lack of understanding about mental disorders are major barriers to seeking help and promoting better mental health. Increasing understanding and overcoming stigma through strategic communications and social mobilization are crucial steps towards strengthening mental health programmes. Mental health promotion involves actions that improve psychological well-being.

Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation in partnership with other entities reaches out with mental health promotional activities in schools and communities to raise awareness about mental disorders and their Negative impacts on life. We work to champion the concept of mental health to reduce stigma and discrimination against victims and those at risk by promoting their rights. Barriers to effective treatment of mental illness include a lack of recognition of the seriousness of the mental illness and a lack of understanding about the benefits of services. Policymakers, health and labour policies, and the public at large all discriminate between physical and mental problems.
