South Sudanese Community Resources

Stigma is frequently associated with mental illness, and sometimes, in the South Sudanese community, this can be seen as a sign of weakness. This can result in people avoiding talking about or sharing their experiences our of fear of judgement.  

In this beautifully animated video, Ez and Adongwot reflect on mental health and the factors that prevent the community from talking about it. They encourage members of their community to talk to loved ones and professionals to when they need help.
