Mental Health Awareness

The Republic of Liberia recently experienced several events that resulted in wide-ranging societal impacts, including long-term civil war and an outbreak of Ebola. These types of events are linked to higher prevalence of mental disorders and psychosocial distress. As a result, it is likely that there is an increased prevalence of mental health disorders in the population. At Bethlehem Health Care we provide counseling services for mental health patients as well as caring for their physical needs. The Organization regularly distributes food and clothing to affected individuals in various mental homes in the country.
