About The MWell Project
There is a lack of awareness in Africa of health services as a lifestyle choice for happier and more productive livelihoods. The traditional narrative on mental health stigma prevails in everyday life, making it difficult for corporate citizens, students, and everyday individuals to willingly access such services. This has led to a high number of people being exposed to stress, burnouts, depression, and with no visible professional environment to effectively address this challenge.
The MWell Project, has generated awareness by creating a social media campaign that communicates on how mindwellness is for everyone. We have used visual, written, and audio content to communicate the main challenges of mental wellness and practical solutions available for everyone. Each week, we took a dive deep into one of the following challenges that come with mind wellness:
The ever-growing MWell community has shared positive sentiments towards the campaign and this has culminated into several calls for a dialogue with experts in mind wellness to and the general audience to normalise the narrative on this important subject.
