Foundation set to commence its Child and Adolescent Mental Health program for the hearing impaired.
All preparations are complete for the smooth takeoff and commencement of the Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation’s 2025 first-quarter Action Plan. This initiative will encompass child care and development as well as adolescent mental health. This announcement was made to newsmen on January 28, 2025, by the Executive Director of the Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation, Reverend Chukwudiebube Nwachukwu.
According to him, during this first quarter of 2025, all our focal persons across the country are to implement our action plan in their respective states, as per their specific areas of need, just as the Resource Center has identified the school for the hearing impaired - The Special Education Center at Ogbete with a large number of children and adolescents there, as our primary focus this quarter. Our Psychosocial engagements with them will teach them self awareness and help strengthen their cognitive and affective abilities. This will enable them to unlock their potentials, overcome their fears and stigmas and become valuable assets to society irrespective of their impairments.
We have already conducted our needs assessment for the intervention to enable us to focus more on the support we shall provide and we are ready to commence the intervention, which is structured into three layers. We anticipate that this approach will be more productive.
All our state focal persons have also identified their schools in their respective states.
