Psychosocial Support
Psychosocial Support Program
Mental health and emotional wellbeing are essential components of human dignity and community resilience. Our psychosocial support program addresses the psychological and social needs of single mothers and vulnerable children in Kampala's underserved communities. We provide comprehensive mental health services, counseling, and peer support to help families heal from trauma and build emotional strength.
Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that many families in our communities have experienced significant adversity. Through individual counseling, group therapy, and community-based support programs, we help individuals process their experiences, develop coping skills, and build supportive networks that foster healing and growth.
