Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) refers to any type of local or specialised support that aims to protect and promote psychosocial well-being and/or prevent or treat mental health conditions. At EAPSF, our MHPSS services are designed to address the psychological and social needs of individuals and communities affected by conflict, displacement, and other adversities.
Our Peacebuilding Integration component specifically combines psychological healing with reconciliation and conflict-resolution processes. We work with communities to address trauma that results from violence, social division, and systemic stress, helping restore individual well-being while rebuilding the social fabric of communities. This integrated approach draws on globally recognised MHPSS frameworks, including IASC guidelines, to ensure quality and effectiveness.
A thorough mental health assessment is the foundation of effective care. Our clinical team conducts comprehensive evaluations to identify an individual's psychological, emotional, and behavioural needs, providing a clear diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan.
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, involves working with a trained therapist to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to improve mental health and overall well-being. EAPSF offers evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
We provide one-on-one counselling tailored to the unique needs of each client across all life stages:
Healthy family systems and strong relationships are central to mental well-being. EAPSF provides therapy and support for families and couples at all stages of life, addressing:
Our family and relationship therapy sessions help clients rebuild trust, improve communication, and develop healthier relational patterns in a structured, professionally supported environment.
Group therapy is a powerful and evidence-based modality in which a small group of individuals with shared experiences or challenges meet under the guidance of a trained therapist. Groups provide a safe space for participants to share, listen, and learn from one another, reducing isolation and building resilience.
EAPSF facilitates a range of support groups, including:
Trauma occurs when a person experiences an overwhelming event that exceeds their ability to cope, such as violence, accidents, loss, disasters, or prolonged abuse. Left unaddressed, trauma can lead to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, and other serious conditions.
EAPSF provides specialised trauma-informed care and crisis intervention services, including:
Our crisis services are designed to provide immediate stabilisation and a clear pathway toward recovery, helping individuals restore emotional balance and functional well-being.
Addiction, whether to substances such as alcohol and drugs, or behavioural addictions, is a complex mental health challenge that requires specialised, compassionate care. EAPSF offers:
On the workplace side, EAPSF partners with organisations to promote employee mental health through:
As a cross-cutting service area, EAPSF provides MHPSS support across humanitarian, development, and community settings. This includes multi-layered support ranging from basic community-level psychosocial activities to clinical mental health interventions for individuals with moderate to severe conditions.
Our MHPSS approach recognises that mental health is shaped by biological, psychological, and social factors, and therefore our interventions address the whole person within their social context.
Chronic pain and emotional distress are deeply interconnected. EAPSF offers integrated support for individuals living with chronic illness, injury, or persistent emotional pain, helping them develop healthy coping strategies, improve quality of life, and manage the psychological impact of physical conditions.
Recovery from a significant physical injury can take a serious toll on mental health. Fear, grief over lost function, frustration, and adjustment challenges are common. Our injury recovery counselling supports clients through the psychological dimensions of physical rehabilitation, promoting resilience and a positive outlook on recovery.
Anxiety and depression are among the most common mental health conditions worldwide. EAPSF offers targeted, evidence-based treatment for both conditions, including:
Treatment is delivered in a confidential, non-judgmental environment, with personalised plans that adapt to each client's progress.

In post-conflict and fragile settings, psychological healing must go hand in hand with social reconciliation. EAPSF integrates psychosocial support into peacebuilding processes — addressing collective trauma, promoting dialogue, and supporting communities in rebuilding trust and cohesion. Our programmes are culturally sensitive and designed to complement existing community-based peacebuilding efforts.
EAPSF is committed to supporting survivors of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) with specialised, trauma-informed care. Our SGBV services include:
All SGBV services are delivered with the highest standards of confidentiality, dignity, and survivor-centred care.
EAPSF provides structured psychotherapy for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol dependence. Our approach includes individual therapy, group support, and family involvement where appropriate. We use proven modalities such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioural techniques, and relapse prevention strategies to help clients achieve and sustain recovery.
EAPSF partners with businesses, NGOs, government institutions, and schools to promote mental health in professional environments. Recognising that workplace stress is a leading contributor to absenteeism, reduced productivity, and staff turnover, our workplace wellness services include:
EAPSF recognises that spiritual well-being is an integral part of mental health, particularly within East African cultural contexts. Our psychospiritual therapy integrates psychological principles with spiritual and existential exploration, helping clients find meaning, purpose, and inner peace during times of difficulty. Family therapy services address the systemic dynamics within families, improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening bonds.
EAPSF takes its services beyond the clinic walls through active community outreach. Our outreach programmes include school-based mental health education, community health fairs, radio and media campaigns on mental wellness, and mobile counselling services in underserved areas. We believe that accessible, community-embedded support is essential to reducing the mental health treatment gap in Uganda and across East Africa.
EAPSF provides professional clinical supervision for counsellors, therapists, social workers, and mental health practitioners. Supervision supports professional development, ensures quality of care, and helps practitioners manage the emotional demands of the work. We also offer supervision for institutions and NGOs seeking to strengthen the quality of their mental health programming.
When communities face crises, whether natural disasters, disease outbreaks, mass casualties, or conflict, the psychological impact can be devastating and long-lasting. EAPSF provides rapid-response psychosocial support and structured crisis management services, including:
