World Mental Health Day

TalkNaija is building a community aimed at dispelling myths, reducing stigma, and humanizing mental illness through openness and discussion. Set to launch January 2017, TalkNaija.org will bring understanding, hope, and healing not only to the Nigerian community, but worldwide. In honor of World Mental Health Day, this video addresses the state of mental health awareness in Nigeria. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. We are empowered when we talk about it. It's time to talk, Naija. Talk more. Mental health matters!
