Nigeria and Mental Health Act: #BreakItDown
Show Notes

In this episode, we dive into the world of mental health!  We have two incredible guests in the house: Chime Asonye, the lawyer-turned-mental health advocate and founder of Nigerian Mental Health, and the ever-inspiring Lucy Abeng, a lecturer passionate about mental health through her Mental Health for Youth Initiative.

We served up insightful takes on the Nigeria Mental Health Survey and why it is time to decriminalise attempted suicides in the country. But that’s not all, folks! We also break down the barriers to mental health accessibility and spotlight the Nigeria Mental Health Act.

So, if you’re a young soul looking to unravel the mysteries of mental health while having a blast, this episode is your golden ticket. Tune in, share the love, and let’s make mental health the coolest topic around!
