Strategy

Since Inception, we respond to a mental health crisis.

Our mental health and well-being have a significant influence on our overall quality of life. It is as vital as our physical health and well-being, but individuals are often more hesitant to discuss and seek assistance for mental health issues.

Mission

To provide and improve access to health by transforming the field of mental and emotional health in our communities through education, support, rehabilitation, advocacy and empowerment.

Vision

We envision a world that Promotes Mental Health and Wellness in our community through education, rehabilitation, Support, Advocacy, empowerment, and sensitization Outreaches.

Our Goal

To Run a Rehabilitation Center that empowers the young population in our communities to become a “shame-free” and “stigma-free” generation when approaching mental health and wellness issues

Our Six Key Programs

We aim to achieve this through our core group of programs.

ACTS Rehabilitation Center works with communities to improve their understanding of mental health and mental health disorders while taking into account misconceptions, cultural and religious beliefs and stigma.

These principles help us make important decisions about everything from programs to campaigns, to events, to staffing.

This crisis touches every town, city, and village.

Uganda has about 53 psychiatrists serving a population of about 44 million people, with an estimate of 14 million believed to be mentally unwell.
I had no idea what else to do or who to speak to. So, when I contacted the Village Health Team representative and explained my situation, she took out her phone and rang. When someone from ACTS FUND answered and spoke to me, it immediately made me feel as though others cared about me and that I wasn't alone.
