Monitoring Healing Over Time By Gideon Mawenya & Katharine Thompson - Manager & Director In the vibrant tapestry of Tanzania, the well-being of disadvantaged youth stands as a critical concern, necessitating a paradigm shift towards recognizing and prioritizing mental health. Embracing the use of mental health metrics becomes paramount in this context, offering a nuanced understanding of the challenges these youth face. By employing comprehensive assessments and tracking progress over time, we not only break down the barriers of mental health stigma but also empower communities to tailor interventions that facilitate healing and foster resilience. In weaving a narrative of transformation, the integration of mental health metrics serves as a guiding light, steering us towards a future where every disadvantaged youth in Tanzania has the opportunity not only to overcome challenges but to flourish. Each time the children come home from school, we administer several surveys within our social welfare department designed to track healing. Over time, this ensures our kids receive the support they need, creating a responsive system that nurtures their well-being and fosters a path to flourishing.
