Dedicating time to ensure we all cope is central to our approach. During recent #ReadingDays, we paused for self-care and collective #wellbeing, engaging in activities from reading articles on #philanthropy to creative pursuits like film & music. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

Swipe to see the Ember Wellbeing Fund in action! 🌱🧡 Last month, innovator @AbeokutaHope, a #communitybased #mentalhealth initiative in #Nigeria, made use of the Ember Wellbeing Fund to organise a Christmas Day activity for staff, #volunteers, residents & community members.

"Accessing both services and resources, mobile phones do have the potential to bridge this gap, but there is not a universal digital experience". Regular mobile phone use is very widespread, but people with disabilities did have less access. ~Rini~@SHMFoundation

How does Ember approach measuring the #impact of #communitybased #mentalhealth organisations? When we support community-based mental health initiatives to measure and communicate their impact, we value both #qualitative and #quantitative methods.
