Raising awareness about mental health in the run-up to World Mental Health Day

On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, a Butterfly Cameroon team made up of regional coordinator Nadege Kenmegne and trainees conducted awareness-raising sessions with pupils from Collège Islamique Sabil and Lycée Bilingue Domayo in Maroua, in Cameroon’s Far North region.

The objectives of the awareness-raising sessions were to define the issues surrounding mental health, discuss the importance of tolerating others and helping each other, and sensitize students to avoid stigmatization. In addition, Butterfly Cameroon directed the students towards specialized structures and people who can provide support in the event of a mental health problem.

The sessions were interactive and much appreciated by the students.
