Episode 29 - The Silent Wound: Mental Health in Crisis Situations

Crises, whether conflict, climate disasters, or pandemics, leave deep scars, not only on our communities but also on our mental well-being. Too often, mental health is sidelined in emergency responses, leaving girls, young women, and LGBTQI+ people to cope alone with trauma, anxiety, and loss.In this episode, we spoke with Natasha Chilambo, who reflects on mental health challenges in the midst of crisis, building community resilience, and advocating for mental health to be treated as a human right, not a luxury.
