Open Minds: children & young people overcoming mental health problems caused by skin NTDs in Nigeria (360G-CR-4412987)
This proposal is a partnership between The Leprosy Mission England, The Leprosy Mission Nigeria and Gede Foundation. Working together, they aim to support children and young people(CYP) living with leprosy and neglected tropical diseases (NTD) with their mental health problems. Depression is reported in up to 50% of leprosy patients (Mangeard-Lourme J, 2018) and 20% of lymphatic filariasis patients in Nigeria (Obindo et al., 2017). The project will work with controlled peer support groups, where CYP can discuss their mental health and NTDs, and access professional mental health support with Gede Foundation referring on those that need specialist support.
