Lem Mindfulness

About Us. LEM-Mindfulness is a registered non-profit organization working to transform individuals and communities living and facing challenges of mental health. In Uganda, over 35% of the population in Uganda (at least 14 million Ugandans as per the study by The NewVision Newspaper) suffers from mental disorders and less than 10% of people with mental illness receive treatment. At least, 80% of the 90% with mental disorders have been to a traditional healer attributing the mental illness to witch craft which often delays the on-set of evidence-based care and exposing the individual to coercive practices. Given this disquieting situation, LEM-Mindfulness seeks to create awareness and offer guidance and counseling to those living with and affected by mental challenges through online, 1 on1 and group counseling, conducting mental health awareness clinics in institutions of higher learning, offering specialized psychotherapy tools and financial support.
