May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time when conversations about mental health become more visible and urgent. Mental health affects everyone, yet many still hesitate to talk openly about it. This silence can deepen feelings of isolation and stigma. #MentalHealthMatters
Yesterday, the Ukara Mental Health Services team headed by @AmutuhaireBarb1 C.E.O paid a visit to @kashakagirlsss as part of our ongoing efforts to promote mental health awareness, emotional well-being, and psychosocial support among students.

Sometimes the most powerful question you can ask someone is:
“Are you really okay?”
Don’t be afraid of difficult conversations. Asking someone if they are thinking about suicide does not put the idea in their mind. It can open a door to honesty, support & help.

The Ankole cow is an important part of the culture, heritage, and livelihood of the Banyankole people. Traditionally, cattle are a symbol of wealth, pride, friendship, and social status. They provide milk, meat, and income to many families. @TourismBoardUg @ankole_destin

Always choose gratitude, even on the difficult days. Appreciate what you have, the people around you, and every small blessing. Gratitude shifts your focus from what is missing to what truly matters.

It's okay not to be okay but it's not okay to suffer in silence.

Today, I had the privilege of being at Karera Seed Secondary School, Sheema, where I shared with students and staff the importance of making mental health a priority for everyone.
Mental health is just as important as physical health.
