About Refugee Mental Health Network

Refugee Mental Health Network is a refugee-led, women-led, and youth-led mental health non-profit organization committed to providing crucial mental health support, education, and awareness to refugees. Our focus is primarily on vulnerable groups, especially refugee women and young people, who often face severe mental health challenges such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), trauma, depression, and anxiety. These conditions frequently arise from experiences of forced displacement, sexual violence, and gender-based violence. We believe that mental health is a fundamental human right, and our mission is to empower refugees by helping them heal and regain control of their lives through trauma-sensitive care, community-led initiatives, and culturally appropriate interventions. Through various programs, we aim to foster resilience and promote long-term mental wellness in refugee communities, offering a safe space for recovery, growth, and empowerment.

Over the past two weeks, our team participated in a two-day Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) training held on 28 May and 1 June 2026 at our office in Ntinda.

The training helped strengthen our skills in data collection, reporting, results measurement, and log frame development. It also deepened our understanding of how data can be used to inform decision-making and improve the quality of our work.

As we continue working with refugee and host communities, strengthening our M&E systems will help us better understand community needs, learn from our experiences, and enhance the services we provide.

We are grateful to our partners for investing in our learning and growth. Opportunities like this help us build a stronger organization and better support the communities we serve.

On 29th May 2026, we welcomed young people from refugee and host communities to our office in Ntinda for a Youth Mental Health Awareness Training.

The session created a safe space for participants to learn about mental health, understand their emotions, recognize signs of mental health challenges, and explore the importance of seeking support early.

Beyond personal learning, participants reflected on the role they can play in supporting their peers and challenging the stigma that often prevents young people from speaking openly about their mental health struggles.

When young people are equipped with knowledge, empathy, and the confidence to seek help, they become powerful agents of change in their communities.

At Refugee Mental Health Network, we remain committed to creating spaces where young people can learn, connect, and have open conversations about mental health without fear of stigma.

Last week on Friday, 14th November 2025, we hosted a team from @wearecohere_org at our offices in Ntinda as part of their follow-up visit to assess how we have utilized the funds received this year from Global Whole Being Fund through @wearecohere_org. The meeting allowed us to walk them through our activities across refugee communities, the impact created, and the challenges encountered. We also explored strategies for strengthening and expanding our work to reach even more communities in need.
The representatives appreciated the progress made, our team’s dedication, and the tangible impact achieved this year.

@RefugeeMHNetwrk, we are proud to continue our partnership, supporting mental health for all.

Yesterday we took part in the National Summit on Strengthening Climate Adaptation for Refugee Women & Host Communities in Uganda, held at Fairway Hotel, Kampala, and organized by (REWON) in partnership with Oxfam in Uganda. The summit brought together refugee women-led organizations, policymakers, and partners to discuss how women from refugee & host communities can meaningfully engage in climate decision-making & lead resilience efforts.
It highlighted how climate change continues to affect displaced populations especially women who provide food, water, & energy for their families while recognizing them as key agents of change shaping Uganda’s climate response. This gathering marks a milestone in empowering refugee women to build a green, resilient future.
