Mental Health for the Elderly and Disabled Programme

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS AND INTERNS TO SUPPORT MENTAL HEALTH FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED PROGRAMME

The Integrated Mental Health Initiatives invites expression of interest from prospecting volunteers and interns to support MENTAL HEALTH FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED PROGRAMME in Uganda.

Much concentration has been put on the adolescents and midlife categories overtime until recently when we found greatest ever neglect of the elderly and disabled whose mental states have showed to deteriorate much with age. Without interventions the secondary effects have impacted caregivers and relatives, leading family level mental health concerns, who reacting many ways including further negligence, which prompts earlier deaths.

We hope that extension of mental health services to the elderly and disabled, who cannot afford costly access to professional services, will resurrect spirits, renewed positive energies and strength for them to live happy and longer lives through our initiative's homebased intervention.

Currently 99% either are unaware of existence of such services or cannot afford them. It is upon this basis that the Integrated Mental Health Initiative calls upon interns and volunteers to support MENTAL HEALTH FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED PROGRAMME in Uganda and extend services to them by volunteering, interning on it and by fundraising or donating to it. Volunteers and interns are needed twice a year -from February to April and June to August.

Global Terrorism: Victims of the 7/11 and Psychological Trauma Interventions, Uganda's Quest for Solutions

By

Jacob Waiswa

Psychological trauma is occurring in areas of the world marred by violence -radiating from families, communities, and the different regions of the world –where victims develop considerable degrees of disability mentally, physically, emotionally, socially, occupationally, and spiritually.

Terrorism is one approach of violence that has perplexed the world today. The application of lethal violence usually requires reference to vital threats; broad and complex grievances; spiritual, moral, and ethical authority; and symbolic, identity, or other irreducible goals (Walter, R. 1990).

Terrorism is fatal and agonising strategy of violence against a perceived enemy. It is pursued by different people for different reasons, yet well justified by them –respectively. While terrorism constitutes mental and behavioural tendencies of one party towards another, it is hardly perceived so by that party.
