Who we are

Buzzcut Foundation

Buzzcut foundation is a mental health non-profit non government organization founded by youth and supporting the mental health of youth battling with mental health issues. After years of battling with depression and anxiety without any help, the co-founder decided that she didn’t want any other youth to go through what she has been through and have no one to turn to. She got in touch with a friend, who too had suffered from mental illness but has been exposed to other countries and has received the help she needed and they felt this help had to be extended to Uganda .
 
This organization was built on love and positivity and all volunteers work with commitment to ensure that every youth suffering from mental illness gets the support they need. We support the mental health of youth through support group therapy, counseling, treatment and diagnosis, and mental health awareness. 

Your mental health is our Priority

We believe that mental wellbeing and physical health should indeed be reasonably recognized. We need prompt and effective reactions to mental health challenges and problems if we are to reduce the long-running stigma surrounding people with mental illness. In reality, mental illnesses  are very common and there is treatment that helps with recovery. However, the stigma often prevents people from obtaining care which can further isolate them and make their problems worse.  Speaking about mental health allows our societies to improve by making it more comfortable for those suffering from mental illness to seek support, learn how to cope and get on the road to recovery. Moreover, mental health is not just about mental illnesses. It’s about maintaining a positive state of wellbeing as well. 

Our Goal to ensure that every person considered as youth battling with mental health issues can receive the health and support they need and walk them through the path to wellness.
