Common questions
Do you offer sessions online?
Yes. We work in person in Addis Ababa and across East Africa, and offer online sessions for families and organizations throughout the region.
Which languages do you work in?
Sessions are available in English and Amharic. Let us know if you need another language and we'll do our best to help.
How do I know which service is right for me?
Send us a short message about your situation. We'll suggest the best starting point — there is no obligation.
Do you work outside Ethiopia?
Yes. We work with families, schools and organizations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Somalia — on-site or online.
What is the difference between psychosocial support and psychiatric intervention?
Psychosocial support includes counselling, para-counselling and MHPSS for emotional, relationship and community difficulties. Psychiatric intervention is for more complex needs — we provide assessment and coordinate care with licensed psychiatric specialists, including medication where appropriate.
