Rebecca Blamo's Mental Health Awareness and Well-being C.I.C. was founded with a desire to help individuals who have limited or no access to adequate mental health resources. Growing up in African homes, many of us were not allowed to talk about our emotions. If we were feeling low or stressed, we had to get on with life and be grateful for the basics like food and shelter. In Liberia, West Africa, many households have experienced traumatic events, but there is often little awareness of the long-term consequences. Mental health issues were not commonly discussed because of a lack of understanding and knowledge. Those who suffered from chronic depression or any form of mental health disorder were often told that they were possessed by demons or that it was witchcraft. This continues to be the case today, and individuals with mental health issues often feel isolated and fearful due to the attached stigmas. At Rebecca Blamo, we aim to raise awareness through training workshops, educational campaigns, leaflets, flyers, videos, radio segments, social media, and other means, with the hope of reaching those with limited or no access due to various barriers such as language, traditions, culture, social status, education, and poverty.
