Rebecca Blamo's Mental Health Awareness and Well-being, C.I.C
rebecca blamo
The topic of mental health issues within Black households and communities, particularly in Liberia, West Africa, is often considered a taboo subject, leaving many to suffer in silence.
At Rebecca Blamo, our goal is to make conversations about mental health issues more commonplace by spreading the message that “having a mental health disorder does not define you,” “you are not your illness,” and “let’s talk about mental health disorders and help remove the stigmas that are attached.” We believe that everyone has the basic human right to access adequate mental health awareness and treatment facilities.
Our mission is to provide access to mental health information in a simplified manner so that it can be easily understood by individuals who may not have an educational background. We are also dedicated to creating an inclusive environment where conversations around mental health issues can be normalised, particularly within Liberian communities, to reduce stigmas associated with such discussions.
Our vision is to ensure that every person suffering from a mental health condition is treated with respect and as an individual, not just as their illness. We are committed to raising awareness about mental health issues and creating a safe environment where individuals can openly discuss their challenges without fear of being stigmatised
