FORE Community Outreach and Education
Community Outreach and Education
We believe prevention is just as critical as treatment. FORE conducts educational outreach in schools, churches, workplaces, and communities to raise awareness about mental health, reduce stigma, and promote healthy behaviours. Through workshops, public talks, recovery walks, and printed resources, we empower communities to understand, support, and advocate for mental wellness.
Healing starts before the crisis does.
Mental health challenges don't begin in a clinic — they begin in communities, families, schools, and workplaces. FORE Community takes mental health education directly to where people live, worship, work, and learn.
Our outreach work is designed not just to inform, but to transform attitudes. By meeting communities in their own spaces, we reduce barriers, build trust, and create environments where mental wellness is openly valued and supported.
We go to where the people are.
🏫 Schools
Age-appropriate mental health education for students, teachers, and school communities to build awareness from an early age.
⛪ Churches
Partnering with faith communities to integrate mental health awareness into pastoral care and congregation wellbeing.
🏢 Workplaces
Equipping organisations with the knowledge to support employee mental health and create psychologically safe cultures.
🏘️ Communities
Grassroots outreach in neighbourhoods and local groups, meeting people where they are with accessible, relevant education.
Our outreach activities.
Workshops & Training Sessions
Interactive, facilitated sessions tailored to the specific needs of the audience — covering topics from stress and anxiety to addiction awareness and suicide prevention.
Public Talks & Seminars
Engaging public forums and panel discussions that open up community conversations about mental health, breaking the silence and reducing stigma.
Recovery Walks
Community walks that celebrate recovery, build solidarity, and publicly demonstrate that mental health and addiction challenges are not a source of shame.
Printed Resources & Materials
Accessible, culturally relevant brochures, posters, and guides that communities can keep, share, and reference long after our visits.
Awareness that changes communities.
Since 2015, FORE Community has reached thousands of Ugandans across schools, churches, workplaces, and grassroots communities. Our outreach work has contributed to measurable shifts in how mental health is discussed and perceived in the areas we serve.
We measure our success not just in numbers of events delivered, but in the cultural change we see — in communities that once silenced mental health now speaking openly, seeking help early, and supporting one another with compassion.
Why It Matters: Ending the silence around mental health.
Open Conversations
We create safe spaces for communities to talk openly about mental health without fear of judgment or shame.
Empowered Communities
We equip ordinary people — parents, teachers, pastors, neighbours — to become mental health advocates in their own circles.
Pathways to Care
Our outreach connects communities to FORE's clinical services, making it easier for those in need to take that first step toward support
