there is more to mental health wellness than the wide spread belief that mental Illness is "Madness" ( Misala)
Mental Health issues are still on the rise here in Malawi and beyond with many unsung stories of different individuals with different mental struggles. Mallards Psychosocial Home is an entity that is geared to help people find aid to their mental health struggles. The Entity ( Mallards Psych Home) is also aiming towards breaking stereotypical statements and conducts that issues of mental health are bombarded with.
Mallards,has currently launched into taking issue of mental health to Primary schools where they have said is where the issues are mostly overlooked or even downplayed. Mallards is working hand in hand with the District Education Manager's Office( DEM) which has been of great aid to the initiative. Their recent stop was Chinsapo Primary school where students through different games and talks understood what mental health wellness means and shared their own issues of concern to the Mallards team.
Mallards is not only an entity that is working towards sorting out mental health issues as it also works on awareness campaigns that enable Individuals understand that there is more to mental health wellness than the wide spread belief that mental Illness is "Madness" ( Misala). Mallards also provides people with therapy sessions at their Offices in Area 18.
