Giving Digest: Running to Make Mental Health a Priority

Mental health advocates in Mbarara City came together for the Mental Health Awareness Run 26, organised by Ukara Mental Health under the theme “Make Your Mental Health a Priority.” Through their participation, community members gave their time, energy and voices to challenge stigma, encourage open conversations about mental wellbeing and mobilise support for accessible mental health services. The initiative particularly seeks to expand youth-focused counselling, school outreach programmes and psychosocial support, demonstrating how collective action can help create communities where people feel safer seeking help.
