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.

🌍 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. 🌱💪

🌍 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. 🌿

When catastrophe strikes whether it’s a flood, war, epidemic, or violence at home the world rushes to provide food, water, and shelter. But there’s another kind of first aid just as urgent, yet often overlooked: mental health and trauma care.

Last week, we explored how families without mental health care face deep crises and ripple effects. This week, we turn our focus to communities.
When crisis strikes, true strength lies in access to mental health care. đź’š With care, communities rebuild, reconnect, and heal. Without it, fear and trauma linger.
Let’s rise stronger — united and whole. 🌍

As Uganda marks 63 years of Independence, we celebrate more than the raising of the flag — we celebrate freedom itself: freedom to dream, to grow, to believe, and to heal.

Every year, millions of people around the world are affected by emergencies and catastrophes. These range from natural disasters to public health crises such as pandemics & outbreaks.
What all these share in common is their impact on mental health. The emotional wounds may not be visible, but they are often as serious as physical injuries.

With 7 days left to go as we march forward to October 10th, which marks the 🌍 World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme — “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies” — is a powerful reminder that mental health care must be available to everyone, especially in times of crisis.
Whether it’s war, natural disasters, or displacement, people need support to heal and rebuild. Let’s stand together to ensure no one is left behind.

🌍💚 Welcome to October
As we prepare to mark World Mental Health Day on October 10th, organized by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH), we reflect on this year’s theme: ✨ “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies” ✨
In a world where disasters and crises touch so many lives, mental health care is not a luxury — it is a lifeline. Together, we can bridge the gap and ensure that no one faces catastrophe without support, care, and hope.
Together, let’s raise awareness, extend care, and remind the world:
👉 Mental health is a right, even in times of catastrophe and emergencies
