StrongMinds Launches the Report: Our Climate & Our Mental Health – A Case Study from Kotido District, Uganda

StrongMinds is excited to share its newest report addressing the link between our climate and our mental health, with a special focus on the Kotido District in Uganda. As climate change continues to reshape environments and livelihoods, its impact on mental health becomes an increasingly urgent matter. The psychological toll of climate-induced stressors—such as displacement, loss of income, food insecurity, or water scarcity— exacerbates existing mental health conditions and leaves communities even more vulnerable to depression. In this report we address the many ways in which climate change is impacting mental health and what we are doing to help individuals and communities build resilience and adapt in the face of a changing climate.
