Psychosocial Support & Wellbeing
Utilise education and preventive strategies to provide community-based support systems for mental health and wellbeing.

Mental health is central to individual and community wellbeing. JDF uses education and preventive strategies to build community-based support systems that address mental health, sexual and reproductive health, and lifestyle modification — particularly for youth and families facing adversity.
We work with trained community health volunteers, peer support groups, and specialist practitioners to deliver contextually appropriate support that respects culture and promotes dignity.

Safe spaces, life skills, and sexual and reproductive health education for young people.
Education campaigns on substance abuse, trauma, and healthy lifestyle choices.
