ASADS Volunteers Hangout
While our volunteers are working tirelessly to significantly reduce the rate of suicide and depression in Nigeria, we understand that they are also human and are persuaded to care for their mental health the same as anyone else. It is important that we ease the burden of the work we do at ASADS and help our volunteers de-stress, and relieve tension, hence the ASADS hangout.

These sessions are intended to offer safe inclusive spaces where people can freely express themselves, share experiences, offer support and also draw comfort from others. Trained ASADS support group facilitators and certified therapists coordinate these sessions to foster healthy conversations and ensure the safety of information shared at these gatherings.
