The Little Mental Health Project!
The Little Mental Health Project
Mental health is often overlooked or misunderstood in Malawian society, yet it deeply affects individuals, families, and communities. At The Little Mental Health Project Podcast, we believe that open, honest conversations are essential for healing and change. Through this podcast, we explore real-life experiences, tackle stigma, and raise awareness about mental health challenges and well-being. Co-hosted with Mwai Wirima, our episodes feature diverse voices—from mental health professionals to everyday people, sharing stories, insights, and practical tools for navigating mental health.
