Project Uplifts

The steady increase of psychological difficulties faced by school children shows us the need to ensure there is psychological well-being through collaboration between schools and mental health focus Uganda. Therefore we make sure that we identify, evaluate and intervene with problems related to developmental delays, academic difficulties, peer pressure, self esteem and emotional functioning arise.

Here we conduct interactive talks and workshops for students, teachers and parents,  designed to address concerns about child and adolescent mental health. The workshops are geared towards enabling positive parenting, effective teaching and providing stronger coping skills to children and adolescent.
