A toolkit to enhance youth friendly mental health services in 15 Boko Haram affected communities in Cameroon

FacebookTwitterLinked In

Start Date: 31/03/2021- End Date: 30/09/2022


Boko Haram attacks in the Northern region of Cameroon have greatly affected community life, particularly for youth who are exposed to various forms of trauma, loss/separation of loved ones, school closures, and unemployment. Unfortunately, access to psychosocial care remains almost non-existent. Sembe World is increasing the provision of youth-friendly mental health services in Boko Haram-affected communities in the Northern region of Cameroon by establishing community-based psychosocial support networks of key community leaders trained in mental health promotion, screening for common mental health disorders, and providing lay counseling and referrals to specialized care with the support of a locally adapted toolkit.
