Due to the ongoing regional crisis, a significant number of our people are experiencing severe mental health and psychosocial challenges. This is a critical public emergency that requires immediate attention. For instance, suicide has become a serious concern in the region. In response, Bahir Dar University, in collaboration with the Regional Health Bureau and the Amhara Public Health Institute, has organized a one-day workshop to address these pressing issues. Additionally, the forum has engaged with other NGOs and secured a contribution of 270,000 ETB for refreshments from AMREF Africa.
