StrongMinds

In just 6 sessions, StrongMinds therapy groups help participants identify the triggers of their depression and create meaningful solutions together. Group members learn coping mechanisms and build lasting support networks.

Did you know? StrongMinds uses group interpersonal therapy (IPT-G) to treat depression by focusing on interpersonal relationships as both the cause and solution. This evidence-based, talk therapy approach is recommended by the World Health Organization and is changing lives across Africa. 💚 #MentalHealthMatters #StrongMindsImpact #GroupTherapy #IPTG

Depression is a debilitating condition that affects nearly 30 million people in Africa and is a leading risk factor for suicide. As we observe World Suicide Prevention Day, let’s remember that destigmatizing depression is not just about raising awareness—it’s about saving lives. Today, make sure to check in with the people around you and remind them that they are not alone. Sometimes a simple conversation can make all the difference. Read more at https://lnkd.in/gzYZa_bP

We understand the strong link between good mental health and academic success, which is why we partner with Ministries of Education in Uganda and Zambia, as well as NGOs focused on adolescent sexual and reproductive health. We have treated more than 85,000 adolescents since 2019 and we now have more than 200 schools in Uganda with therapy programs and three in-school pilots in Zambia. #BackToSchool #StrongMinds

For students like Joy, therapy provided by StrongMinds made all the difference. After losing her father, Joy struggled with depression, but through therapy, she regained her confidence and now aspires to become a midwife. By addressing the mental health needs of adolescents, we help them build resilience and pursue their dreams. #StrongMindsStories #Resilience #YouthEmpowerment

Did you know that treating depression in adolescents can lead to better grades and improved school attendance? After therapy with StrongMinds, 63% of girls saw their grades improve, and many who had dropped out of school re-enrolled. Let’s continue to support the mental health of our students so they can achieve their goals and contribute positively to their communities. #BackToSchool #MentalHealthSupport #StrongMinds Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gg_FZXsw

With 40% of Africa’s population under 15, early intervention in mental health is more critical than ever. Depression often goes undetected, leading to absenteeism, social isolation, and higher dropout rates. StrongMinds partners with schools in Uganda and Zambia to provide therapy that helps students like Olipa and Joy rediscover their potential and work towards their dreams. #MentalHealthAwareness #EducationForAll #StrongMindsImpact
