Break it Down

Good healthcare is not only the absence of illness but the complete social, mental, and physical well-being of humans. Governments work to improve healthcare with tools often referred to as policies. But citizens barely engage with these or other important conversations that impact their lives. The Break it Down Podcast is here to close that gap by simplifying and breaking down these concepts and policies so you can engage meaningfully. You should listen if you are someone curious about understanding how things work and contributing to conversations that impact our lives.You can reach us via podcasts@nigeriahealthwatch.com

Nigeria and Mental Health Act: #BreakItDown

October 11, 2023 • Nigeria Health Watch

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!
