Friendship Bench – Zimbabwe | Ep 6 | Developing Mental Wealth

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 12 juillet 2024 • Durée 32:17

The final episode in our first series takes you to Zimbabwe to learn about a project that is beautifully simple, but whose impact is being felt far beyond Harare where it began.

Seyi and Radha meet Professor Dixon Chibanda, a classically trained psychiatrist who, following the tragic death of a client by suicide, was inspired to take psychiatry out of the hospital and in to the community. There, a group of local grandmothers convinced him to set up the Friendship Bench project, where people receive counselling and advice from CBT-trained grandmothers, all while sitting on a park bench. A woman called Jenny Muzoma tells her own story of hardship, for which she’s been receiving counselling from Mrs Nhengo.

Developing Mental Wealth is a six-part series about community-based solutions to mental health issues, in parts of the world where circumstances can be the most challenging. The series is funded by the European Journalism Centre, through the Solutions Journalism Accelerator. This fund is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 5 juillet 2024 • Durée 27:36

This week, Seyi and Radha take you to Lagos in Nigeria, where sharp increases in heat and flooding have put the city – the largest in Africa – on the frontline of the climate crisis. They discover the Zen Café, which has recently been set up to support those struggling with eco-anxiety, and hear how the project has created a space for concerned citizens to come together and make sense of what’s happening to the world around them.

They meet Svetlana Chigozie Onye and Ayomide Olude from SustyVibes, the organisation which set up The Eco-anxiety in Africa Project (TEAP), and Ihuoma, a cafe attendee.

vendredi 14 juin 2024 • Durée 23:19

Seyi and Radha are hopping over the Atlantic this week to meet a group of women in Peru, who are supporting the country’s neurodivergent community with their mental health challenges, through the simple act of hosting picnics.

Heal By Hair – Ivory Coast | Ep 1 | Developing Mental Wealth

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

vendredi 7 juin 2024 • Durée 32:12

We’re kicking off this Developing Mental Wealth series with a trip to the Ivory Coast. We hear the incredible story of Marie-Alix de Putter, whose project Heal by Hair is training hairdressers as mental health first responders, making it easier for people to get support in a country where mental illness remains taboo.

Seyi and Radha meet founder Marie-Alix and hairdresser Esmel Semou. They learn about the concept of Ubuntu, which emphasises people’s interconnectedness, and how this is being applied to mental health in a way that stands in complete contrast to western traditions.
