How has Covid affected our mental health?

Africa Daily

Available for over a year

It’s been a rough couple of months. Mental health has rarely been a priority for most African governments. So, when the pandemic hit, the few support services available often found themselves overwhelmed. But younger people are set on changing the way the continent talks about mental health – and they’re using social media to put the topic back on the agenda. How much difference can they make? Hosted by Alan Kasujja (@Kasujja) #AfricaDaily If you are affected by any of the issues mentioned in this episode, you can find information about support organisations on the Befrienders Worldwide website: https://www.befrienders.org/
