NGO Mental Health Support Services
Therapy in Kenya for NGO Staff Mental Health
Protect Your People. Strengthen Your Mission.
In Kenya, NGO Staff mental health in nonprofit and humanitarian space faces the weight of high-impact work often at great emotional cost. From compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma to chronic stress and emotional exhaustion, the toll is real. Left unaddressed, these pressures lead to burnout, reduced performance, and high staff turnover even among your most passionate team members.
You’ve worked hard to build a mission-driven workforce. Supporting their mental health is essential to sustaining that impact and ensuring long-term program success.
