Voluntary enrollment and participation affords an individual a plethora of mental health support services and resources, such as Mental Health Wisdom & Wellness SMS Promotion Campaign and Wisdom & Wellness Circles.

Feedback from Field
Most Wisdom & Wellness Counselors experience challenges of transportation due to the minimal allowance allocation.
“I would like to request of the organization’s administration to consider increasing the transportation allowance. For most of us, we end up taking more than one or two buses; sometimes we have to make multiple connections, even be forced to board a Bajaj, which is quite costly - just to get the the facilities to provide mental health services”
Response from the Wisdom & Wellness Partner: Mwasonga Dispensary
WWC: __Alfreda George________________________________________________
Feedback from Field:
Inclement weather/heavy rains derailed the activity.
“Due to heavy rains I got at the health facility late considering the fact that I also have connect two bus routes to get there. Not only did the heavy rains on the that day alter my internet connection, but also prohibit hospital visits at a greater extent thus no responses from clients were sent on that day.”
Response from the Wisdom & Wellness Partner: Mbagala Rangi Tatu HC
WWC: __Grace Mshanga________________________________________________
Feedback from Field:
WWC was unable to provide service due to access restriction as a result of the WW Focal Contact Person’s absence.
“Sadly, the hospital’s health officer in charge denied me the permission to provide service at the OutPatientDepartment [OPD] since the focal contact person wasn’t available. After several futile attempts to explain who I was and why I was there, I finally gave up around 1:30pm.”
