At the Transforming African MedTech Conference (TAMC), Thalia Psychotherapy introduced a “Scream Therapy Room,” a voice-guided booth for safe emotional release, aiming to destigmatize workplace mental health in Kenya.

• Kenya lost an estimated KSh 62.2 billion in 2021 due to mental health-related absenteeism and lost productivity.
• Maryann Anyango, Behavioural Innovation Lead at Thalia, highlighted the booth’s purpose as a simple, measurable, and judgment-free first step into mental wellness.
• The therapy booth measures release and translates it into familiar Kenyan sound references, from tumbili to ndovu, making mental health interventions more relatable and accessible.
