Empowering Minds at Ozalla Health Centre, Enugu
On Sept 23, 2025, the Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation hosted a transformative mental health session for nurses and expectant mothers. We explored poor mental health, triggers, illnesses, home stressors, screen time dangers, negative emotions, and solutions like resilience and seeking help.
Nurses and moms completed counseling forms and assessed depression/anxiety levels using global tools and committed to less screen time and more family moments, boosting her wellbeing! One nurse shared: “This session clarified triggers and equipped me to support patients and myself” and “I’m more confident and excited for the Mental Health Academy!”
Many are eager to join our Mental Health Academy to become community advocates. This session empowered nurses to better support moms, whose mental health impacts their babies and homes, fostering healthier families and communities in Enugu. Outcomes included deeper mental health understanding, increased emotional intelligence, improved help-seeking skills, practical lifestyle changes, reduced stigma, and support for maternal/child wellbeing. Join us in building stronger minds and healthier communities!
