We conduct community-driven research to understand youth mental health needs and develop culturally appropriate, youth-centered interventions. We document our impact and contribute to the evidence base for youth mental health in African contexts.
We generate evidence, insights, and innovative solutions that inform effective, youth-centered mental health programs and advocacy.
Youth-Led Community Based Organization
Vital Minds Initiative Uganda (VMI) is a youth-led Community Based Organization rooted in Uganda and driven by a simple but urgent belief — that Young people deserve mental health support before the breaking point, before a crisis. Not after.
