Refugee Mental Health Network

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.
