[Focus on Recovery Uganda (FORE Tranquil Homes) @HomesFore]

As we step into Mental Health Awareness Month, we began where it matters most, with our community.

We walked, we listened, and we opened up conversations around mental health and how we can better support one another in creating a safe space for all.

Throughout this month, we’ll be leaning into these conversations honest, necessary, and healing.
You’re not alone. We are here for you. 💚

This #WorldHealthDay, we’re following the 2026 theme: "Together for health. Stand with science."
True well-being means using evidence-based habits to care for our minds just as much as our bodies. Let’s swap stigma for science & prioritize mental fitness today.

Today, I share this Heartfelt post of the recent horrific events at the Ggaba Daycare. As we remember the innocent lives taken, its important we understand the impact that trauma has on those that are left behind.🕯

Instead of comparing, we can choose to emulate .

Comparison has to do with measuring ourselves against others and often feeling either superior or inferior. Emulation has to do with learning from others we admire and using their example to grow.

The 2026 theme "Give to Gain" reminds us that investing in a woman’s peace of mind isn't a luxury, it’s a foundation. When we "give" women the justice and support they deserve, society "gains" leaders who move beyond just survival to truly prosper. #WomensDay2026

Addiction is a medical condition, not a moral failing. It’s time we treat it with the same urgency and care as any other chronic illness.

For too long, "strength" has been defined by how much a Black woman can endure. True justice is moving beyond endurance and toward flourishing.  where strength includes the right to rest, the right to be heard, and the right to mental peace. #womenempoweringwomen #womensday❤️

We were honoured to join @kyambogou for their 5th Counselling Open Day! 🎓💙 We spent the day talking with students about the importance of mental health. It is important that students feel supported & equiped to handle challenges. #university #MentalHealthMatters

A study found that 96% of 16-year-old boys have used internet porn, with 10% checking it daily.

It’s time to stop looking the other way. We need to know what our kids are seeing online and start having the tough conversations before the internet does it for us.

We joined the conversation on sanyu FM to dive deep into how @homesfore is actively impacting lives across Uganda. Mental health is often a silent struggle, but through our work in addiction recovery & mental wellness,we are breaking the stigma & building a community of support.

The education system lied: You don’t need to be "hired" to be useful. 
You ARE the skill. ⚒️
When you wait for a phone call from a "connection" to start using your talents, your confidence begins to rust.

This technique brings you back to NOW. #MentalHealth #Grounding
