Uganda’s journey toward embracing mental health and rehabilitative therapies has made meaningful strides in recent years, but the road ahead remains long. 

Historically, mental health challenges in the country have lingered in the shadows, obscured by stigma, under-resourced systems, and limited public awareness.

A Glimpse into Uganda’s Mental Health Landscape

The country’s primary public psychiatric facility, Butabika National Referral Hospital, plays a vital role in providing psychiatric services and training medical professionals. However, it faces significant challenges: limited capacity, funding shortages, and a shortage of qualified personnel, all of which leave many Ugandans underserved.

Across Uganda, mental health advocacy is growing. Civil society groups, mental health professionals, and individuals with lived experience are working to shift the narrative. Yet, despite this momentum, many still find it difficult to access timely, affordable, and stigma-free therapy services—especially in rural areas or for specific needs like speech therapy, occupational therapy, or trauma recovery.

In response to this growing demand, new and innovative therapy providers are emerging. Among them, one name stands out.
