The Stanley Jegede Foundation (SJF), a non-governmental organization with a mission to make a good quality of life accessible to the less privileged, has partnership with the LifeLine Care Association (LCA) to provide essential mental health support and services across communities.
The collaboration aligns with SJF’s health advocacy targets for this year, necessitating its support to LCA in expanding capacities to deliver mental health services, raise awareness about the importance of mental wellness, and combat the stigma often associated with mental health illnesses or disorders.
This also underscores SJF’s commitment to holistic interventions in addressing neglected diseases or critical health challenges plaguing society.
In a statement on the partnership, SJF’s Executive Chairman, Mr Stanley Jegede, said: “The Stanley Jegede Foundation understands that mental health is a vital component of overall well-being. This collaboration with the LifeLine Care Association aligns with our belief that everyone deserves access to coordinated, affordable and impactful mental health services, support and helpful resources. Working together with organizations like LCA, we will continue to foster an environment where individuals can thrive, free from the burdens of mis-, under-, or over-diagnosed mental health conditions.”
He added that the partnership is focused on creating long-term tangible impact by facilitating access to community outreach programs, free diagnoses, counseling services, and mental health resources, ensuring that individuals, particularly in vulnerable communities, receive the support they need.
The partnership reaffirms SJF’s dedication to empowering communities through targeted interventions and life-changing initiatives.
