Reconnect Health Development Initiative (RHDI) is an mental health non-profit, non-government organization headquartered in Nigeria since 2013, to provide psychological treatment and support services to address mental health issues while providing psychological treatment services to people and communities. Working together with relevant stakeholders, we affirm our commitment to support and alleviate the sufferings of persons affected by disasters, mental disorder, psychological and substance abuse problems.
We believe no one should face a mental health challenge alone and we would not give up until everyone in need of psychological support access the required.
Reconnect HDI has nearly 50 seasoned professionals comprising of Clinical and Behavioural Psychologists, Educational and Child Psychologists, Consultant Psychiatrists, Public Health Specialists and Counsellors. With our partners from the public, private and NGO sectors, our contribution to the psychosocial space is unparalleled
Our Objectives are:
* To raise awareness and combat stigma on mental illness through culturally appropriate methods.
* To care and protect the wellbeing and rights of vulnerable population including survivors of gender based violence.
* To promote access and availability of psychosocial and treatment services.
* To host research on mental health to inform policies and sustain wellbeing of beneficiaries.
* To strengthen partnerships and platforms of support for individuals, communities and groups.
For years, many families in Nigeria have struggled to find appropriate mental health care for their daughters, wives, and sisters.
Now, through a joint effort with The Olive Prime, the first women-only treatment centre in Nigeria has been established, creating a safe space where women can finally get the help they need.
This milestone opens new pathways for women to receive care safely, privately, and with dignity.
Reconnect HDI is committed to supporting solutions that expand access where it is needed most.
Mental health is a crucial component in successful interventions on Gender-Based Violence.
For many, even when bodies heal, the mental health toll often endures.
With the exponential rise in mental illness including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation for women who have experienced violence and abuse, comprehensive and gender-sensitive mental health services can allow them to take back control of their bodies, sexuality, and lives.
