Mental health promotion

• Project name: Projet IZERRE II
• Project duration: 2022-2026

Our goal:

Providing quality healthcare, with a particular focus on access to mental healthcare.

Our actions:

• Integration of mental health into primary care through training for healthcare workers (psychological and medical care).
• Training of mental health support workers within communities to identify cases and refer them to healthcare facilities.
• Awareness campaigns to destigmatise mental health issues.
• Socio-economic reintegration of people suffering from mental health issues through income-generating activities and the creation of community support groups.
• Specific actions for children, particularly in schools (prevention, listening, support) and for women.
• National advocacy to include mental health in public policy.

Our impact:

This project aims to strengthen the integration of mental health into primary healthcare and community life. It reduces stigma, promotes the reintegration of people suffering from mental illness and strengthens local solidarity and resilience dynamics.
