Resources
As a team dedicated to supporting mental health, we draw from a wide range of resources designed for different needs, from immediate crisis intervention to long-term wellness strategies. Here are several key types of support and some details about how we function.
| Resource Type | Key Details | Best For / Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Crisis Support Services | • Confidential hotlines(+254742428626) • Staffed by trained counselors • Available 24/7 via call, text, or chat | Immediate help during a mental health emergency or moment of intense distress. |
| Professional Therapy & Counseling | • One-on-one or group sessions with licensed professionals (therapists, psychologists) • Can be short-term or long-term • Available in-person or online (tele-mental health) | Diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, developing coping strategies, and processing emotions. |
| Psychiatric Services | • Provided by medical doctors (psychiatrists) • Focus on psychiatric evaluation and medication management • Often works in tandem with therapists | Conditions that may benefit from medication, such as severe depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. |
| Support Groups | • Peer-led or professionally facilitated groups of individuals with shared experiences • Can be in-person or online • Follow structured formats with rules for confidentiality | Reducing feelings of isolation, gaining practical advice from lived experience, and building community. |
| Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) | • Employer-sponsored program offering confidential assessments, short-term counseling, and referrals • Typically free for employees and sometimes their families • Underutilized but a valuable first step | Addressing work-related or personal issues that impact mental health and job performance. |
| Self-Care & Wellness Strategies | • Personal habits like establishing routines, good sleep hygiene, physical exercise, and healthy boundaries • Practices such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and engaging in hobbies |
Selecting the right resource depends on an individual's specific situation. A good starting point is often a conversation with a primary care giver, who provides referrals and guidance. For workplace teams, promoting awareness of available EAPs and fostering a culture where mental health conversations are normalized is a critical first step.
