Dagoretti North MP Beatrice Elachi has urged Kenyans to end the stigma and discrimination against individuals with mental health conditions, highlighting these as major barriers to accessing care.

• Stigma and misinformation lead many to suffer in silence due to fear of judgment.
• The call was made during a mental health and safety training session for members of the Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA).
• The training, a collaboration with NIVISHE Foundation and Solidarity, emphasized that mental health requires the same attention as physical health.
