CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF INCLUSIVE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL BEING
?
No one is immune to struggling with their mental health, and members of underrepresented groups experience mental health concerns more often while also experiencing more hurdles to accessing quality professional care than others.
Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation is founded on the fundamental human rights principle that all persons should have access to health services without discrimination. The adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its pledge to “leave no one behind”, based on the normative framework of international human rights law, has reinforced the need to creating a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to mental health and well-being.
We are breaking barriers to mental health - the stigmatization and discrimination that are associated with mental illness by raising awareness about mental health issues and promoting a culture of wellness that prioritizes mental health through advocacy, education and supporting individuals who are affected by mental health challenges while working to create a supportive and inclusive environment for individuals who are affected by mental health challenges.
We emphasize the need to address the broad health and wellbeing issues and needs of all people and ensuring that mental health services are easy to access and affordable for everyone. We believe that equity and social justice are paramount to our work and we use that lens as we look to make change in our world.
