Supporting People With Mental Health Ltd – Uganda (.) is based in Lira and works across northern Uganda to make mental health support practical, stigma-free, and accessible. We walk with youth, women, caregivers, and trauma survivors — from the first conversation to full recovery — through counselling, community outreach, and partnerships with health facilities.
In northern Uganda, mental health conditions remain highly stigmatized and under-served. Many people in Lira suffer in silence because of stigma, myths, and lack of access to information. With very few trained personnel, most cases go untreated until they become severe. Youth, women, and trauma survivors are the most affected.
A Uganda where every person experiencing mental health difficulties has access to quality care, safe accommodation, recovery support, and opportunities that empower individuals and families to live healthy and productive lives within their communities.
To deliver person-centered mental health services through therapeutic interventions, supported housing, community rehabilitation, and partnerships with healthcare providers, government agencies, and NGOs.
. bridges the mental health gap through community-based support. In the last years we have counselled hundreds of clients, reached thousands through awareness campaigns, and linked the most severe cases to Lira Regional Referral Hospital. We aim to scale this until every person in northern Uganda has someone to talk to.
