Facilitator: Dr. Mfon Bassey
We had an incredible and eye-opening session with Dr. Mfon Bassey, a leading voice in mental health advocacy, as she broke down common myths and revealed powerful truths about mental health in Nigeria.
From tackling the stigma around therapy to addressing cultural beliefs that silence conversations, Dr. Bassey reminded us that mental health is not a taboo—it’s a necessity.
🔹 “Mental illness is not a weakness or a curse. It’s a health condition—just like any other.”
🔹 “You don’t need to be broken to need therapy—you just need to be human.”
The session ended with a powerful message:
👉🏽 Speak up. Show empathy. Seek help.
Because everyone deserves to live with peace of mind.
