Last night we held our second Mental-Up class with the student mental health ambassadors (SMHA’s) and what an interactive session it was!

The session, focusing on coping skills and support, was led by Ms Emma from The Mindful Drop (TMD) counselling unit.

Ms Emma echoed on building resilience, an important step maintaining one’s mental health. She also emphasized the need to seek or provide support, while highlighting who cares for the carers (ambassadors).

As TMD, we continue to build youth leadership in Zambia through SMHAP, and creating impact through the student mental health ambassadors.

Often, the strongest people are the ones quietly holding everything together. The ones who’s face always says ‘I am fine’ yet their hearts house unheard screams and pain.

In light of this, the Peaceful Hub have stormed the month of March with a key message on su***de awareness.

After surviving su***de attempts twice, our student mental health ambassador shares her experience and unfiltered take on su***de in Zambia.

Depression can be sneaky. It often masks itself as:
🟠 Fatigue or low energy
🟠 Irritability or anger
🟠 Physical pain (headaches, stomach issues)
🟠 Withdrawal from social activities
🟠 Changes in appetite or sleep

In this short video, the 𝑴𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝑴𝒐𝒔𝒂𝒊𝒄 uncovers behind the mask people wear. Often, people might say "I'm just tired" or "I'm stressed" when it's actually depression!

As you watch this video, we urge you all to check on your loved ones and those close to you when you notice any of what's unearthed.

Remember to practice mindfulness and be aware of your emotion! 💚

We are in the third week of our school mentorship visits, implemented in partnership with Global Health Corps (GHC) and what an enlightening experience it has been. From learning, to sharing personal stories and encouraging each other on what matters most.

Each experience is a reminder that every learner deserves to be supported and equipped with the right tools to thrive, not just academically but mentally as well, because young minds matter!

We look forward to continue engaging the young learners through these visits.

Today we celebrate, not just Youth Day but two huge milestones: The Mindful Drop turns One today👏🏽, and behind this number are over 700 adolescents and young people who have impacted by our programs, from school Mental-Up to SMHAP to digital support programs and peer counseling.

💡 This year also marked an important milestone as The Mindful Drop officially became a registered NGO with the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services, Zambia on March 4, 2026, strengthening our commitment to sustainable mental health action in Zambia.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible young people who have believed in our mission.

Our sincere gratitude also goes to our volunteers who have been committed to taking our mission forward and to all the schools/partners we have worked with. Finally, a special appreciation to Penmarks Limited for supporting our school Mental-Up outreach with stationery donations, helping us reach young learners with the tools they need to thrive.

Happy 1st Anniversary to The Mindful Drop. Here is a one minute review of our first year of operation!
