TANNA's Mental Health Awareness Campaign has broken significant barriers in mental health stigma within the Mloganzila community. Over four months, our comprehensive program reached 300+ families, established 50 support groups, and trained 20 community counselors, fundamentally changing attitudes toward mental wellness.
This groundbreaking initiative emerged from the recognition that mental health stigma was preventing community members from seeking essential psychological support. Through culturally sensitive education, community engagement, and professional counseling services, we have fundamentally changed how mental wellness is perceived and addressed in our community.
