On September 26th, Caren Wambui of Nyando Social Justice Center was honored to be invited as a stakeholder in the formation of the Mental Health Sub-County Committee held at Ahero County Hospital. This meeting marked a crucial step toward strengthening mental health advocacy and services in the region.
During the meeting, stakeholders collaboratively developed a comprehensive roadmap for rolling out multiple community sensitization activities focused on mental health across Nyando Sub-County. These initiatives aim to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and promote access to mental health care and support networks.
