Mental Health Awareness Month: Breaking the Silence in Kenya

May marks Mental Health Awareness Month globally, but in Kenya, mental health awareness is needed every single day. At Rhema Therapy Hub, we believe that understanding mental health is the first step toward healing and growth.

Why Mental Health Awareness Matters

In Kenya, nearly 1 in 4 people experience mental health challenges, yet stigma keeps many from seeking help. Mental health awareness month serves as a powerful reminder that mental wellness is just as important as physical health.

Signs You Might Need Mental Health Support

  • Persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Changes in sleep patterns or appetite
  • Withdrawal from friends and family
  • Unexplained physical symptoms like headaches

How to Observe Mental Health Awareness Day

  1. Start a Conversation – Talk openly about mental health with family and friends
  2. Educate Yourself – Learn about different mental health conditions
  3. Practice Self-Care – Prioritize activities that support your wellbeing
  4. Seek Professional Help – There’s no shame in reaching out to a therapist
