A safe space where everyone belongs
Wellbeing retreats where young people step away from stress and reconnect, with talks from mental health professionals, support circles, games and creativity.
Young people in our region carry a lot: displacement, loss, exams, unemployment, family pressure. Too often they carry it alone, because talking about mental health still feels taboo. Mind & Mend exists to change that.
Mind & Mend is a one-day retreat open to everyone. It mixes honest conversation with joy:
The second edition, Mind & Mend 2.0, took place in June 2026 in Bamenda with the University of Bamenda Medical Students' Association (UBaMSA), Skye8, GirlFORCE, UBaMELSA and CATUC-MSA.
We welcome financial, in-kind and technical support for future retreats, from venues and refreshments to art supplies and professional volunteers.
If you are struggling right now, please talk to someone you trust, and check on your friends. Asking for help is a sign of strength.
