Specialised service

Prevention and Awareness Initiatives

Campaigns, talks and activations that raise awareness and encourage early help-seeking.

Overview

About this service

Awareness reduces stigma and helps people seek support earlier. We deliver talks, workshops and awareness activations for workplaces, schools and communities on mental health, gender-based violence, substance abuse, sexual and reproductive health, and HIV/AIDS and TB.

Initiatives can be aligned with national health and awareness calendars or designed around a partner’s specific priorities.
