Mental health support isn’t only for people in crisis. Substance use isn’t simply a matter of willpower. And supporting someone in recovery doesn’t mean covering up every consequence.
Understanding the facts helps us respond earlier, reduce stigma and support recovery.
KADSAMHSA partnered with the Tinubu-Uba Sani Mobilization Network to flag off a sensitization programme themed:
“Break the Chain of Drug Abuse: Choose Hope, Choose Life.”
Through the Tinubu-Uba Cares initiative,we are engaging young people on the consequences of substance abuse
Mental health care should be available where people access healthcare every day.
That is why Kaduna State is strengthening mental health services across its 23 Primary Healthcare Centres of Excellence through ongoing mhGAP training.
@ubasanius @KD_SPHCDA @WHONigeria @kadchma
The goal is simple: strengthen the people and systems already providing care in our communities, so mental health support is not only available when someone reaches crisis point.
Early identification can change the course of care.
