They should focus not only on treating mental health challenges but also on prevention, awareness, early intervention, and community support.

They should learn that people experiencing mental health challenges need to be listened to and involved in decisions that affect them. Support should be designed around people's actual needs, not assumptions about what they need #LivedExperienceKE

#LivedExperienceKE I can make an effort to check on my friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours to see how they are doing. Sometimes, a simple conversation can make someone feel loved and supported. This can help people feel less lonely and remind them that they are not alone.

Sometimes, looking strong on the outside doesn't mean you're okay on the inside. People need to understand that everyone fights battles they may never talk about. A little kindness goes a long way. #LivedExperienceKE

Digital campaigns can amplify voices across Kenya, but online spaces must be respectful. Challenge stigma, reject cyberbullying and share reliable information that connects people to support. #LivedExperienceKE

I believe sharing our experiences can help challenge the idea that mental health struggles should be hidden. When I speak openly and listen to others without judgement, I can help make these conversations safer. #LivedExperienceKE #BreakTheStigma

Policies designed without the voices of people affected risk missing real needs. Wananchi si takwimu pekee; their experiences are evidence. Involve communities in designing, implementing and evaluating mental health services. #LivedExperienceKE

Healing is not always a straight line. Some days you move forward, other days you simply survive and that still counts. #LivedExperienceKE

People should know that its not always easy to notice mental health struggles, I can smile, go to work, support others and fulfil their responsibilities while silently dealing with stress and or worsed of mental health issue within me #LivedExperienceKE

Mental health support should not only be available during a crisis. We need consistent community support, affordable professional services, and policies that prioritise prevention, dignity, inclusion, and recovery. #LivedExperienceKE

I have learnt that Isolation deepens pain: Keeping struggles hidden or pretending everything is fine usually increases internal pressure and loneliness.#LivedExperienceKE

I feel it has taught me that asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.

That I can show up for others and keep supporting as the strongest link in the friend group and still experience struggles that may not be visible to all.

Health providers: listen first. Lived experience is expertise. Care designed with patients works better than care designed for them #LivedExperienceKE

Put people at the centre of decisions. Communities, organisations, and policymakers should involve people with lived experiences when designing mental health programmes and policies.

"Practical support: someone helping with small things like a meal, a ride, or just sitting with me. It helped because it took the pressure off asking. #LivedExperienceKE"
