ABOUT US

Mind Bus Health Support Uganda

Mindbus Health Support Uganda (MHSU) is a youth led mental health NGO that was registered in Dec 2022 to create mental health awareness and offer affordable mental health support to the vulnerable communities in Uganda, with a goal to build better lives, and a major focus on reducing stigma related to mental health. Our core methodology is the use of Art therapy; e.g. play, arts/imagery, music, dance, drama and fireplace sessions as a way of employing entertaining, creative and artistic methods of creating awareness amongst adolescents and youths. This form of delivery is meant to attract a youthful and adolescent target audience, which covers more than 70% of the country’s populace. Our activities are documented through the use of YouTube videos, audio and video podcasts, short films, social media spaces, graphics, e-magazines and reports. In the next few years, we envision MHSU growing into a pivotal force in the youth mental health landscape of Uganda.

Our Goal

Founders Message

The inspiration behind the formation of Mind Bus Health Support Uganda came at the peak of COVID-19 between 2020 and 2022 when Uganda experienced increased cases of early marriage, teenage pregnancies, substance abuse, mental illnesses among others. This was a result of the long lockdown that was put on the country in quest to curb the COVID-19 virus from spreading. Whereas all effort was put in ensuring the population's survival against COVID-19, little effort was put in ensuring the mental wellbeing of the population especially the youth. Mind Bus therefore joined other mental health organizations to participate in strengthening the mental health system so that the full spectrum of youth mental health needs is met.
