Mental Health Training Course

This Mental Health Training Course was created for Makazi Foundation members, teachers, volunteers, and anyone interested in improving the mental health of young people. This course is designed to empower you with the knowledge and expertise needed to deliver impactful mental health presentations to two crucial age groups: 12-18 and 18-25. The course content was developed in collaboration with Nditha Rehabilitation Center, drawing on their experience in helping individuals recover from substance abuse. We have carefully tailored the content to address ethical and cultural characteristics unique to the Malawian context, ensuring that the information provided is not only accurate but also culturally sensitive. Join us on this journey of learning and empowerment as we equip ourselves to make a meaningful difference in the mental well-being of Malawi's youth.
