SAVING THE WORLD

Through mental health awareness and education

Q1 2025 report

The Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation Skill Acquisition Center hosted a productive session that yielded positive outcomes. We provided psychosocial engagement and skill training in mushroom farming to various groups of individuals, offering them meaningful and sustainable pathways for development. This initiative underscores our commitment to sustainable development, life on land, quality education, meaningful partnerships, problem-solving and fostering resilience.

Engagement with hearing/speech impaired children

On January 31, 2025, we commenced our psychosocial and multi-sport activities with students of the Ogbete Enugu Special Education Center (Hearing and Speech Impaired). These engagements fostered inclusivity, self-discovery, and the unlocking of their potential, enabling them to recognize their abilities despite their disabilities.

A Psychosocial training session for personnel of Oji River Medium Custodial Centre was conducted on January 21, 2025, by Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation in collaboration with Coli Mental Health Academy. The session was facilitated by CAPIONG. The personnel were exposed to various issues related to brain health, emotions, behavior, and the effects of negative emotions on the human mind. They also learned about effective stress management techniques and strategies.

What people are saying

  • VERY WELL DONE

    This is a timely initiative. Mental health awareness is practically non existent in our society or in its early stages and many have lost their minds and lives as a result.

    Widows, bereaved family members, people who lost jobs or business, even students who catch a downward wind in their academics; all of these need therapy to be able to come out of the bottomless hole of despair and hopelessness.

    This an opportunity to practice the full gospel of Jesus Christ in a practical way. I pray for you and Uzo, that the Lord continues to shine his light on your path and give you wisdom, territories and fulfillment as you execute this project in Jesus name❤️.

  • AT THE RIGHT TIME

    What a nice initiative 👍. As far as I'm concerned "Cope and Live " came at a time when it's needed most👌 because the rate at which people ignore their mental health is alarming.

    In the security services for instance, there is the occasional unleashing of anger which an officer has carried from his house or somewhere else on to the citizens who he's trained to protect. It seems many of us are ignorant of the techniques on how to treasure our mental health and manage our emotions at work or at home hence the need for you to extend your advocacy and reach to the men and women of Nigeria's various security services. My humble suggestion please 🙏.

  • THANK YOU

    Thank you so much for showing up everyday for the sake of other people's well-being ma. You are a vessel of honor unto womanhood and humanity in general. I hope that someday in my future, I'd be able to encourage someone out there to keep living one day at a time just like you're doing.

    Only GOD can reward you for this ma. I am greatly inspired by you. GOD bless you.

  • I COMMEND YOU

    Good morning. Knowing too well that health is wealth, and our brothers and children mental health status is important to the society, I must commend you and pray God Almighty to give all of us the needed wisdom to inform people within our very locality.

    Thanks.

  • FIRST TIME

    I love what you do, honestly, cos this is my first time seeing someone in Nigeria with such a strong Vision and mission in this aspect of Mental health issues, rather than only just organizing seminars once in a while which many organizations do.
