About Program
Prince Jim Shepherd Nadiope Foundation has so many options for volunteering your time to mental health. This meaningful activity doesn't just allow you to help other individuals, but it can also benefit your mental health. When you volunteer and perform kind deeds, the reward center of your brain is activated. This makes you feel good about yourself, which in turn helps your mental health.
Many mentally disabled people simply do not have access to adequate care, or local superstition prevents them from receiving it. As a volunteer on a mental health or psychology placement, you will work to overcome these barriers and help communities embrace a mindset that approaches mental health matters with care and understanding.
Your assistance will go a long way to support the day-to-day operations in hospitals and community clinics, where you will be working alongside local placement staff. No experience is necessary to sign up.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
