About Us
An indigenous non-profit mental health organization
founded by psychologists in 2020 to respond to
growing psychosocial, emotional and behavioral needs.
Our Story
During the pandemic, communities in Uganda faced unprecedented psychosocial, emotional, and behavioral challenges. Parents and caregivers presented with depressive and anxiety symptoms, while children showed signs of dysfunctional family systems. This highlighted the urgent need for reachable, affordable mental health services.
Led by Jimmy.K, a Behavioral Psychologist, FHMI was established as an NGO registered under Uganda’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (Reg No: INDRI172016629NB, Permit: INDP0006629NB).
Located in Kitumba, Fort Portal City, we serve Kabarole, Bunyagabu, Kyenjojo, and surrounding districts through office-based services and community outreach.
Objectives
What we set out to achieve
- Offer accessible and affordable comprehensive mental health and psychosocial support services to children, youth and the community.
- Create a platform for advocacy on children's rights, peaceful conflict resolution and sustained socio-economic development among families.
- Advocate for a society where children and youth with disabilities have equal rights and opportunities for growth and development.
- Foster the transition of young people from school to productive employment through mentorship, life skills and innovations
- Build networks and supportive relationships with organizations that share our objectives, for joint ventures and programs.
- Conduct research to identify emerging mental health trends and effective intervention strategies.
