Fostering a healthy mind and body
Advancing Mental Health Solutions
Background
Founded in 2014 within Kalangala District, Action for Community Treatment Services (ACTS) is a non-profit initiative dedicated to advancing mental health solutions in Uganda. Initially registered as a non-profit company without share capital, ACTS has been at the forefront of transforming mental health care access in the country.
Inspired by our founder, Diana Kibuuka, a Ugandan national and mental health professional in the USA, Florida, and Arizona. Residential Behavioral ACTS was born from a profound understanding of how mental health promotion can transform lives, boost productivity, and lift communities out of poverty. Diana’s dual experiences have shaped the vision of ACTS, anchoring the organization’s commitment to innovative, community-based mental health interventions.
At ACTS, we believe that mental health is integral to the overall well-being of individuals and society. Since our inception, we have implemented a wide array of programs designed to make a lasting impact. Key initiatives include providing psychosocial support to educators, students, and parents-empowering them with the tools to foster mental wellness. We also prioritize the education of the most vulnerable girls in Uganda, recognizing the powerful role education plays in breaking cycles of poverty.
Through our work, we aim to create resilient communities where mental health is no longer an overlooked issue but a key component of societal progress. As we look ahead, ACTS seeks to expand its reach and continue driving change with the support of local and international stakeholders who share our passion for creating a mentally healthy Uganda.
Join us as we work toward a future where mental health care is accessible to all, and every individual has the opportunity to lead a healthy, productive life.
