Family & Community Support

Strengthening families’capacity to provide safe, inclusive and supportive care through training, counseling and awareness on mental health and caregiving.

Strengthening Care at Home and Inclusion in Society

The Family & Community Support Program strengthens the ability of families and communities to care for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. Many people struggle not only because of illness, but also because caregivers lack knowledge, confidence, or support. This program equips parents, guardians, teachers, and community leaders with practical understanding and skills to respond with compassion and safety.

Through counseling, training, and awareness initiatives, Patrice Wellness Initiative promotes supportive environments where recovery is encouraged rather than judged. We work closely with households, schools, faith leaders, and community structures to reduce stigma and create acceptance. By empowering those closest to affected individuals, we ensure long-term stability and protection beyond clinical care.

Key Activities
