- Capacity Building: NGOs may provide training and capacity-building programs for mental health professionals, community leaders, and volunteers to enhance their skills in providing psychosocial support, crisis intervention, and mental health first aid.
NGO stands for Non-Governmental Organization. NGOs are typically non-profit, voluntary organizations that are independent of government control and are formed to address social, cultural, environmental, or humanitarian issues. A psychological NGO program typically refers to initiatives or projects undertaken by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that focus on addressing mental health issues, promoting psychological well-being, and providing support and resources to individuals and communities in need.
- Awareness Campaigns: NGOs may conduct public awareness campaigns to increase understanding of mental health issues, reduce stigma, and promote help-seeking behavior. These campaigns may involve educational workshops, community events, social media campaigns, and public service announcements.
- Counseling and Therapy Services: NGOs may offer counseling, therapy, or support groups for individuals experiencing mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or substance abuse. These services may be provided by trained professionals or volunteers and may be offered in-person or through telehealth platforms.
