We work to address barriers to mental health care and support

Mental health affects millions globally, yet access to care remains a major challenge. At Twogere, we’re breaking down these barriers. We recognize that stigma and poverty are key obstacles preventing young people in Uganda from getting the mental health support they need. Stigma creates shame and isolation, leaving many hesitant to seek help during their most vulnerable moments.

​

Poverty deepens these struggles, not only increasing the risk of mental health issues but also reinforcing the cycle of poor mental health.

​

To tackle these challenges, we focus on systems strengthening, economic empowerment, mental health education, and peer support. We work to enhance mental health systems, ensuring better access and services for young people. Through economic empowerment, we help users build financial resilience, reducing one of the key barriers to seeking care. Our education and awareness campaigns break the stigma, fostering understanding and encouraging open conversations. Peer support networks offer a safe space for young people to connect, share experiences, and support each other on their mental health journey.
