“World Suicide Prevention Day”
Every chat, no matter how small, builds a more supportive and understanding society. Together, we can make a difference and prioritise suicide prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need.
Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change. It’s about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.

“International Youth Day”
This International Youth Day, we create space for young people to be seen, heard and understood. Through our live discussion, “Young, Seen & Heard,” we will explore the realities young people face today—their hopes, pressures, relationships, expectations and challenges—and how these experiences impact their mental health and well-being. It will be an open and honest conversation about what young people are going through and what support they need to thrive.

OUR FOCUS AREAS
Focus Areas
- Advocacy
- Training & Research
- Outreach
The on-line based platforms of, FB, IG, LinkedIn, and the website, together with old media (radio, Tv and print) are used to create Mental health (MH) awareness within and beyond Kenya’s borders.
The variety in membership ensures that, different demographics (e.g. youth, men) are targeted with appropriate content. Interactive ‘live’ discussions, with, especially authority figures, enlightening viewers on Government mental health policies, remain some of the favourites.
Key MH days and other issues of concern, are commemorated through #campaigns. Our resource pool, shares and re-shares useful contacts such as HelpLines and other related areas
Training area’s main objective, is to equip community leaders (the vulnerable and marginalized populations), teachers and parents, with knowledge and skills, to enable them enhance mental health awareness in their communities.
Further, in -house training on various topics, are organized, to build members’ capacity. This is an going process as PMWC-Ke is keen to, create a dynamic resource pool of lay counsellors within its’ membership.
In terms of Research, PMWC-Ke is putting the necessary structures in place to collaborate /work on projects
This focus area, operates on the ground, and promotes Mental Health (MH) through initiatives such as talks, workshops and sports-centered activities. The awareness targets learners, teachers and parents, to improve mental wellness, improve relationships and reduce stress.
Currently, the most active project areas are Safety in Schools (SiS), Community support, Support groups/KitiKyaUrafiki and Futaa Kivyetu, as we continue looking for an entry point to Safety in the Work place (SiW).
