Mental Health: The Issues and Questions During COVID-19

In the inaugural episode of comm-UNITY we are joined by Rita Auma, an author, lawyer and mental health advocate. She shares her insight on mental health and wellness in the community, what that means and looks like during the time of COVID-19, what is changing, what needs to change, and what possible outcomes we might see. Mental Health has been brought closer to home in this period of time, as the crisis has brought some of what many have faced for years right to our doorsteps. Has this enhanced awareness and support? Has this moved law and policymakers to bring mental healthcare to the forefront of society? Rita also shared some mental healthcare centers that are offering support during this time: Safe Places Uganda -safeplacesuganda.com Mental Health Uganda - www.mentalhealthuganda.org Broken Vessels Uganda - www.brokenvessel.online
