SOCIAL MEDIA SPOTLIGHT: EPISODE 1 – MENTAL HEALTH

 

🌍 The first episode of the #HIVReimagined Podcast discusses innovative ideas that have improved #mentalhealth services.

What does #mentalhealth mean in different contexts? What considerations do services for marginalized groups need? How is the service delivery landscape changing for mental health needs?

🤝 In this episode, speakers from Asia, MENA, and Sub-Saharan Africa highlight distinct community-led approaches and interventions that have been adapted for the communities they serve.

“We need to look at the social norms that go into the #mentalhealth curricula [and how that is] trickling down to services,” reminds studio guest Raj Mariwala of @mariwalahealth in Episode 1 of the @unicef_aids HIV Reimagined Podcast.

Services, especially for marginalized groups, should be developed with an intersectional approach to best understand mental health needs in a community.

“There is now a recognition that a lot more needs to be done,” notes Peter Yaro of @BasicNeedsGh, speaking to the positive changes he has seen in his twenty years as a public #mentalhealth specialist.

The stronger commitments to mental health policies and planning are driven by citizen activities, persons with lived experience, #civilsociety, and mental health professionals rallying together.

The evidence shows that peer support is an important intervention for adolescents affected by HIV. How does peer support work in practice? What youth-centered models are leaving a mark?

On episode 1 of #HIVReimagined, hear more about @AnovaHealthSA’s Youth Care Clubs in South Africa. Their work has reduced wait times, eliminated stigma, and created a safe space for adolescents seeking care. The Youth Care Clubs provide a one stop-shop for young people to access services for both their physical and mental health.
