Presenting the BanStopPrevent Mental Health Advocacy Study: Eradicating Harmful Practices in Mental Health Care
Join us on World Mental Health Day 2024 for the presentation of the BanStopPrevent Mental Health Advocacy Study, a pivotal research project titled "Eradicating Harmful Practices in Mental Health Care by Changing Attitudes and Engaging Healers."
This event, hosted by Walk347 in collaboration with NAS Magna Carta, will delve into key findings from our field research in Umuahia South Local Government Area, Abia State, Nigeria. The study examines how traditional practices and the stigma surrounding mental health impact access to care and explores the potential for shifting attitudes through collaboration with traditional healers.
Event Highlights:

- Presentation of critical research findings on the intersection of traditional healing practices and mental health advocacy.
- Discussion on strategies for eradicating harmful mental health practices and improving care through community engagement.
