That means aligning efforts across sectors, improving communication with policymakers, and working together to drive national change. As<strong> Charles Deogratius <\/strong>from <a href=\"https:\/\/wayds.or.tz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WAYDS Tanzania<\/a> reminded us: \u201cMental health care is not for the few, but has to be given by the majority.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stigmatisation<\/strong> was another major focus. Many participants noted it remains one of the biggest barriers to getting help as it shows up in many forms, within individuals, in communities, and in health systems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStigma silences. Stigma shames. And stigma stops youth from seeking help before it\u2019s too late,\u201d said <strong>Sweetbert Anselimus<\/strong>, Being Youth Advisor in Tanzania.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language also plays a role. Many noted that mental health is often misunderstood or talked about in harmful ways. There\u2019s still no clear Swahili word for \u201cmental health,\u201d and suicide remains both taboo and criminalized, making it hard to track and respond effectively.&nbsp;Participants called for more data, better community-led evaluation, and support for small but steady progress. They emphasized the need to connect youth to services, not just raise awareness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <strong>Charles Deogratius<\/strong> put it: \u201cMental health is the basis of sustainable development, and it can&#8217;t be achieved without unity.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-insights-from-sweetbert-anselimus-being-youth-advisor-in-tanzania\"><strong>Insights from Sweetbert Anselimus, Being Youth Advisor in Tanzania:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/being-initiative.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/DSC00705-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sweetbert Anselimus (on the right) at the Being Tanzania Learning Day.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the Being Learning Day and the Tanzania Mental Health Summit was a truly enriching experience. The open, honest conversations around community-driven approaches to mental health were deeply inspiring. Listening to firsthand stories was a powerful reminder of how essential it is to create safe spaces for dialogue and connection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event reaffirmed my commitment to advocating for mental wellbeing and has energized me to carry these insights into my ongoing work.
