There is no health without mental health
Today is World Health Day
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the the absence of disease or infirmity.” Health is also an individual’s ability to participate in life, cope with stressful situations, build positive relationships and experience psychological well-being.
We provide accessible, skilled, and inclusive mental health and psychosocial support services to all in need, especially children and youth who have been exposed to psychological trauma, have limited options, and are at risk. We take a holistic approach to advocating for individual and community health.
