In partnership with Unik Charitable Foundation Trust, Autism Botswana conducted caregiver capacitation workshops at Mokgosi Memorial School on Ramotswa and Ramolefhe Primary School in Mmathethe, engaging parents of learners in the stimulation class and special unit, respectively.

The workshops aimed to equip caregivers with knowledge and practical skills to better understand and support their children’s development and learning needs.

As part of this initiative, starter packs sponsored by Unik Charitable Foundation Trust were donated to both schools to support the learners.

We sincerely appreciate this partnership and our shared commitment to empowering caregivers, promoting inclusive education, and ensuring that children with disabilities receive the support they need to thrive. đź’™

đź’ś INVISIBLE DISABILITIES AWARENESS

Not All Disabilities Are Visible: Believe, Understand, Include.

Not every disability can be seen. Behind a smile, a conversation, or an ordinary-looking day, someone may be navigating challenges that others cannot see.

Invisible disabilities may include autism, ADHD, mental health conditions, chronic illnesses, neurological conditions, and other conditions that affect daily life.

Let us stop judging people based on appearances. Let us listen, learn, show compassion, and create environments where everyone feels accepted and supported.

Remember: đź’ś You do not have to see a disability to respect it.

đź’ś Everyone deserves dignity and understanding.

đź’ś Inclusion begins when we believe people and respect their needs.

Together, let us build a society where differences are understood, barriers are removed, and everyone belongs.

Join the upcoming Group Counselling Session for Caregivers

What is it:

Group counselling for caregivers is a structured, supportive session where people who care for children, older adults, people with disabilities, or individuals with chronic illnesses come together to share experiences, express emotions, learn coping skills, and support one another.

Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also lead to stress, emotional exhaustion, loneliness, anxiety, and burnout.

Group counselling provides a safe space where caregivers can feel heard, understood, and encouraged.

Today we join the world in commemorating Mental Health Day.

Indeed every lived experience needs to be heard in order to come up with evidence based interventions.

The theme “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change” emphasizes the importance of listening to people who have experienced mental health challenges, valuing their stories, and turning their experiences into meaningful action.

It reminds us that behind every mental health struggle is a human being whose voice deserves to be heard, whose dignity must be respected, and whose experiences can inspire change.

Key messages:

Lived Experiences Heard: Listen without judgment to people who have experienced mental health challenges.

Real Voices: Create safe spaces where individuals can openly share their stories, struggles, recovery journeys, and hopes.

Real Change: Transform personal stories into action through better mental health services, supportive policies, community awareness, and reduced stigma.

Inclusion and Dignity: Ensure that people with mental health conditions participate meaningfully in decisions affecting their lives.
