During the launch, Dr. Chibanda will share reflections on the journey, the stories that shaped this work, and the vision for the future of community mental health. There will also be a chance for an interactive Q&A and special messages.
Over the years, Friendship Bench has provided support to more than 800,000 people, proving that healing begins when we sit together, and hold space for one another. This book celebrates that journey, reminding us that the solutions to some of our most pressing mental health needs can be found close to home, in our relationships and shared spaces.
The book also provides practical tools for those working to support others - whether as practitioners, policymakers, or caring individuals. It is also a powerful case study in how interventions rooted in lived experience and backed by science can reach even the most underserved communities.
