Mental Health Support – Young People
Mental Health Support Services for Young People
Compassionate and Professional Care at Atunishe Care Services
At Atunishe Care Services, we understand the unique challenges young people face when dealing with mental health issues, particularly when it comes to the stigma surrounding mental health in Nigerian culture. For too long, mental health struggles have been misunderstood or hidden, leading to feelings of isolation, shame, and reluctance to seek help.
Our mission is to break down these barriers by offering compassionate, professional, and discreet mental health support for young people, whether their challenges are related to drug addiction, mental illness, or other struggles.
We provide comprehensive support, including therapy, drug addiction counseling, life skills coaching, social inclusion, and supported accommodation. Our support is customized to meet each young person’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the care and resources required to lead fulfilling, independent lives.
Why Choose Our Mental Health Support Services?
-
Breaking the Stigma:
In many Nigerian families, mental health struggles are often misunderstood or viewed with stigma. At Atunishe Care Services, we provide a safe, confidential space where young people can express their concerns without fear of judgment. Our approach is focused on compassionate care, providing support with discretion and sensitivity. -
Discreet and Compassionate Support Workers:
We offer support workers who buddy up with young people during social interactions and when attending social functions. This ensures they feel safe and supported in situations that may cause anxiety or stress. Our support workers are discreet in their role, offering compassionate, non-intrusive assistance while blending into social circles and daily activities. -
Supporting Young People with Mental Illness (Non-Drug Abuse Related):
We offer specialized support to young people struggling with mental illnesses not related to drug abuse. Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or other mental health challenges, our counselors and therapists provide effective treatments and tools for emotional and psychological healing. -
Identifying Appropriate Treatment:
Every case is unique, and we understand the journey to mental well-being requires a personalized approach. We work closely with clients to identify the most suitable treatment options, including therapy, medication management, and life skills coaching, tailored to both short-term and long-term needs. -
Supported Accommodation for Independent Living:
We offer supported accommodation where young people can live independently while receiving full-time care. Each resident has access to a trained, qualified nurse who provides continuous care, ensuring their physical, emotional, and mental health needs are met. This setup fosters independence while maintaining a safe and supportive environment. -
Accommodation and Care Plan:
Accommodation is provided by Atunishe Care Services and is charged separately from the care plan. Care plans are customized to meet each individual’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the support necessary for their health and well-being.
At Atunishe Care Services, we are dedicated to helping young people overcome mental health challenges and achieve a sense of stability, independence, and well-being. By combining compassionate care with professional expertise, we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of our clients.
