My name is Sarah Tushemereirwe. I have battled with different mental disorders for over 15 years.
Free Mind Hive is a Christian & community-based peer-led non-profit organization that exists to create a society where mental health and trauma are understood, addressed, and healed. I feel I have a responsibility to share my experiences and truths that I have come to know. I can shade more light on mental disorders and overcoming them, who knows, it may save a life or two or more. I would love to share my story with the world in form of a book with scientific research. Writing, editing, publishing and distributing a book well is beyond my means, so I am reaching out to you for financial support, or any other support that you can offer. please check out these campaign sites https://www.gofundme.com/make-sarahs-book-possible http://akabbo.ug/campaigns/make-sarahs-book-possible/
The other agenda for this page is to help shift the paradigm when it comes to mental disorders, stigma and good mental health.

Every year tells a story — of growth, challenges, learning, and hope. For Free Mind Hive (FMH), this year has been a testament to God’s faithfulness, quiet resilience, and the power of community. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has been significant.

As we stand at the doorway of a new year, there’s a quiet excitement in the air. Not the rushed, pressure-filled kind — but the hopeful kind. The kind that says, “I’ve been through a lot… and I’m still here.”

Life can be heavy, but you don’t have to navigate it empty-handed. We believe in a "whole-person" approach to healing—one that honors your heart, your mind, and your spirit.
Here is our toolkit for building a life of peace and resilience:
1️⃣ Resilience & Coping: Learn to name your feelings without shame and set boundaries that protect your peace.
2️⃣ A Christ-Centered Vision: Anchor your thoughts in Truth. Trust God’s timing while taking intentional steps forward.
3️⃣ Trauma-Informed Care: Healing happens at your own pace. We prioritize safety, choice, and compassionate connection.
4️⃣ Mental Wellbeing: There is no shame in professional support or medication. Taking care of your body and mind is an act of stewardship.
Remember: Healing is a journey, not a race. Which of these tools do you need to pick up today? 👇

The "most wonderful time of the year" can sometimes feel like the most overwhelming. If you are navigating grief, loneliness, or the hard work of recovery, please know: God is with you. Hope is with you. You are held.
We’ve put together a special 7-day journey from December 22nd to 28th to help you stay grounded, peaceful, and connected to Christ.
Our daily focus includes:
✅ Peace for the overwhelm.
✅ Strength for the triggers.
✅ Grace for the journey (not perfection!)
✅ Hope for the new year ahead.
Take it one breath, one prayer, and one day at a time. Check out the full plan below and save this post to come back to each morning or share the tips with family and friends! 👇

🌟 FMH 2025: A Year of Healing, Hope & Community 🌟
As we reflect on this year, our hearts are full of gratitude. Through trauma-informed, Christ-centered support, FMH strengthened families, youth, and carers, delivered meaningful webinars, and built a supportive online community on Telegram.
Despite challenges, God’s faithfulness carried us through.
Thank you to every volunteer, advocate, spiritual leader, partner, and supporter who prayed, showed up, and believed.
Lives were touched, hope restored, faith deepened, and resilience strengthened.
Together, the Hive continues to rise. 💛

Caregivers carry a unique kind of strength one that often goes uncelebrated, unseen, and unspoken. Whether you’re caring for a child, a parent, a sibling, a partner, or a friend walking through mental health challenges or trauma, your life is shaped by moments most people never witness.

The Festive Season Challenge: Let's Check In On Our Carers ❤️
The holidays are a time of joy, but for the 1 in 5 people who are unpaid carers, they can be overwhelming. The emotional reality is they often carry a "quiet weight" of constant responsibility and exhaustion.
If you know a carer, here’s how you can genuinely support them, as shared in this helpful graphic:
Offer Practical Help: Instead of asking "What can I do?", offer specific help like bringing a meal, running an errand, or giving them an hour of relief.
Share the Load: Help them limit overwhelming expectations and celebrate their efforts.
Encouragement: Remind them: "You Matter Too." Rest is not selfish, it is wisdom.
Let’s create an online and real-world community that sees them. You are not alone.

As the year draws to a close, December invites us into a gentle moment of reflection. It is a season where lights shine brighter, communities gather, and gratitude fills the air. But beyond the celebrations and decorations lies something even more powerful—the quiet, steady resilience that has carried you through the year.

🎉 Celebrating Resilience: Honouring Your Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual Growth This Year
December is here, and before the celebrations begin, let's take a moment to honour the quiet strength you've carried all year. 💙 Resilience isn't just bouncing back—it's the beautiful, unseen work of Keep going, Healing, Choosing hope, and Rising after setbacks.
This journey hasn't been easy, but God has been faithful through every tear, pause, and moment of courage.

🌍 The Ripple Effect: A Nation’s Healing Starts in the Mind
When crisis strikes — from conflict to climate disasters — the ripples move through every heart, home, and institution.
A nation with access to trauma-informed mental health care rises stronger: schools reopen, economies recover, and trust is rebuilt.
But without access, fear spreads, systems collapse, and trauma becomes generational.
Mental health care isn’t charity — it’s national strength, unity, and future readiness. Let’s build nations that heal, rise, and lead with resilience. 🌱💪
20/10/2025
🌍 In the first week of October, we explored how families face emergencies and catastrophes — with and without access to mental health care — and the ripples that follow. 💚
Last week, we looked at communities. This week, we turn to nations — how access (or lack of it) shapes recovery, peace, and resilience. 🕊️
Knowing the effects helps us act with compassion, advocate for access, and build nations that heal together. 🌿

Free Mind Hive is a non-profit organisation which envisions a mentally healthy society that is free from stigma and prejudice with a mission to promote mental health awareness and well-being through education, support and advocacy.
FREE MIND HIVE was born out of the desire to use our (founders) story, challenges and apply the lessons learnt to create mental health awareness, fight stigma and create hope for those with psychosocial disabilities and their loved ones.
We borrow the above expertise to train people to cope well with stresses of life as well as how to cope with a mentally ill colleague, friend or family member. We motivate, inspire and advocate for a healthy mind.
Free Mind Hive co-founder, Sarah Tushemereirwe is a young mental health advocate and motivational speaker. She was diagnosed with a mental disorder at the age of 12 and started medication at the age of 14 though it is believed to have started earlier. She has suffered from depression, bipolar disorder, bulimia, anxiety, and split personality with occasional suicidal tendencies and self-harm through drug overdose.
Sarah believes she has a responsibility to share her experiences and truths about mental disorders and overcoming them. Who knows, it may save a life or two. She is also writing a book about her experience and hopes to shift the paradigm when it comes to mental disorders, stigma and good mental health.
