Gambia Mental Health Week
Understanding Each Other, Healing Together
We are a group of Gambians who are passionate about mental health care. We firmly believe that most Gambians would be more supportive and understanding if they only get educated on the issues. Join us for a week of awareness, education, and community support as we work together to break the stigma around mental health in The Gambia.
Town Hall Event
Our Only In-Person Event
Community Dialogue on Mental Health
Join us for our special town hall at the Gambia National Library on May 14th, which will also be streamed live by Alkamba Times for those outside Gambia. Community leaders, health professionals, and advocates will come together to discuss the state of mental health in The Gambia and chart a path forward.
Community Support
Creating a network of understanding and support throughout Gambian communities.
Education
Providing accessible information about mental health in multiple languages.
Open Dialogue
Encouraging conversations that break stigma and promote healing.
Exploring Mental Health Together
Every day for the next week and a half, we will focus on one topic (for example post-partum depression), and post information and videos about it, as well as testimonials. We will also have videos in all our native languages, so English isn't a barrier to understanding these very important issues.
