Hundreds of grandmothers on Friendship Benches in Zimbabwe and beyond are helping tackle mental health challenges in communities using talk therapies.
The primary purpose of the Friendship Bench Community Minds programme is to bring together people who want to create more mindful, resilient and empowered communities.
We want people to work better together, we strive to create an inspiring, supportive, forward thinking, open minded community who can break the barriers of mental health stigma, increase open air discussions about mental wellbeing and encourage health seeking behaviours.
Although we maintain the site, this is a community we build together, and we need your help to make it the best it can be. We would very much like you to help us do just that, so here are some guidelines for how to participate — either on our site, out in the wild world of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, while participating in workshops or in in-person events.
