Jornada de concienciación para reducir el estigma sobre las enfermedades mentales en Costa de Marfil

Gracias al apoyo de ACCENTURE, pudimos llevar a cabo una campaña de sensibilización en Bouaké, Costa de Marfil, en colaboración con Mindful Change Foundation.

El objetivo principal de esta campaña fue mejorar la percepción de la población local, especialmente en el medio rural, sobre la salud mental, reduciendo la estigmatización hacia niños y jóvenes.

En muchas comunidades de Costa de Marfil, existe una fuerte estigmatización hacia las enfermedades mentales, con creencias arraigadas de que son aflicciones demoníacas o maldiciones. Esto conduce al abandono y rechazo social de quienes sufren de problemas psicológicos, dejándolos sin acceso a tratamientos adecuados y apoyo. Por eso, la campaña se centró en educar a adolescentes y jóvenes sobre los conceptos clave de salud mental en entornos educativos rurales. Durante una jornada completa, más de 120 personas, entre hombres, mujeres y niños, participaron activamente en las sesiones organizadas por Mindful Change Foundation. Estas sesiones no solo buscaron informar, sino también transformar las actitudes locales hacia la salud mental, fomentando la comprensión y empatía hacia quienes la padecen.
