Breaking the Silence on Mental Health in South Sudan
In partnership with Juba Teaching Hospital, The Untold Podcast, and 4C Mental Health
How the Program Makes an Impact
Mental health challenges are common—but support is not.
Podcasts are accessible, mobile-friendly, and stigma-reducing, ensuring access to hope, coping, and resilience to those who otherwise would not have it available.
Listening together builds connection, hope, and shared understanding, and can ultimately transform lives, and communities.
By blending local delivery and American-led scientifically-backed content, the program brings expert resources to:
✅ Youth in schools
✅ Educators and caregivers
✅ Incarcerated individuals in prison settings
✅ The wider public through radio and digital platforms
Together, we are raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental health in South Sudan.
This locally rooted podcast series blends real stories with expert insights to offer accurate, culturally sensitive, and accessible mental health education. Episodes explore common challenges like depression, trauma, and stress—while helping listeners understand where to seek help and how to support others.
By bringing these conversations to schools, prisons, homes, and public platforms, the podcast builds empathy, fosters healing, and opens up space for dialogue—especially among youth, caregivers, and marginalized communities.
Every story is a doorway to healing. Every listener becomes part of a more informed, supportive, and stigma-free society.
