Mental health remains one of the most overlooked areas of development in Sierra Leone. Many individuals and communities continue to face the effects of trauma, poverty, social stigma, and limited access to mental health services.
MiND works to promote mental well-being and improve access to community-based mental health and psychosocial support services.
