YONECO has equiped a total of 31 community members with skills on how to raise awareness of mental health issues in Mulanje district.
People with mental health issues do not get the necessary support due to a number of misconceptions which people have at community level. As such, the trained volunteers have been urged to ensure that people with various mental health issues are getting the necessary support.
Further to this, the participants were oriented on case management and how to notice signs of depression as one way of preventing suicide.
