On World Mental Health Day 2025, our team in Taraba State organized sensitization sessions at two health facilities in Takum LGA. During the sessions, participants, comprising pregnant women and their relatives, were educated on postpartum depression, its causes, symptoms, and available treatment options.
In addition, Caritas Nigeria collaborated with the staff of Rhema Care to host an interactive discussion on the theme, “Mental Health in Emergency Response: Promoting a Positive Working Environment.” The session explored the potential causes of depression among aid workers and their families, and participants proposed practical strategies for managing emotional triggers, sustaining mental well-being, and building resilience while serving on the frontlines.
