Millennium Fellowship Project: ALIVE Mental Health Initiative
ALIVE is a mental health initiative which is aimed at reducing the stigma surrounding
mental illnesses.
ALIVE is also geared towards creating awareness on Mental health and related issues
through advocacy. ALIVE raises conversations which would get the Nigerian
government to allocate more resources
to mental health and improve access to care.
Through advocacy, ALIVE promotes help seeking behaviors and emotional wellbeing
practices, and prevent suicide through individual education and outreach
events.
