Our Programs

Psych Care Uganda delivers community and school-based programs that improve adolescent well-being. Our work focuses on strengthening mental health support systems while equipping young people with knowledge, skills, and guidance for a healthy and productive future.

Adolescent Mental Health Programs

​

Mental health is the core focus of our work. We support adolescents to understand their mental health, seek help early, and build resilience.

Our activities include:

  • Mental health awareness and education in schools and communities

  • Mental health screening and early identification

  • Individual and group counseling support

  • Establishment of school-based mental health clubs (PsyClubs) for peer support

  • Referrals to professional mental health services when needed

 

Through these efforts, we create safe spaces where adolescents can speak openly and receive support.

Teacher and Caregiver Capacity Building

​

Adolescents thrive when the adults around them understand their needs. We work with teachers, parents, and caregivers to strengthen their ability to support young people's mental well-being.

Our work includes:

  • Training teachers on basic adolescent mental health support

  • Equipping caregivers with the resources to recognize early warning signs of distress

  • Promoting supportive learning environments in schools.

  • Raising community awareness about adolescent mental health.

 

Strengthening these support systems helps ensure that adolescents receive consistent care both at school and at home.

 

 

 

 

 

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Education

Mental health and sexual health are closely connected. Our SRHR programs provide adolescents with accurate information, practical skills, and supportive environments to make informed decisions about their health and relationships.

Our activities include:

  • SRHR education sessions in schools and communities

  • Teenage pregnancy awareness and prevention

  • Education on healthy relationships, consent, and personal boundaries

  • Menstrual health education and promotion of safe menstrual hygiene practices

  • Support for access to reusable sanitary pads for girls in underserved communities

 

These interventions help adolescents manage their reproductive health with confidence while reducing stigma and misinformation.

Mentorship, Life Skills, and Career Guidance

​

Adolescents need opportunities to build the personal and social skills that prepare them for adulthood. Our mentorship and life skills programs integrate social and emotional learning (SEL) to help young people develop confidence, self-awareness, and positive decision-making skills.

Our activities include:

  • Life skills and social-emotional learning sessions focused on communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation

  • Career guidance sessions that expose students to different education and career pathways

  • Mentorship from professionals, youth leaders, and community role models

  • Partnerships with organizations and experts who provide mentorship in critical areas such as financial literacy, leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal development

 

Through these partnerships and mentorship opportunities, adolescents gain practical knowledge, role models, and guidance that help them plan and pursue their future goals.
