RT @RwandaYouthArts: Earlier this month, MoS @XandrineUmutoni attended an Open House at the Ketamine Treatment & Research Center (KTRC) at King Faisal Hospital, Kigali, to learn about its work in advancing innovative approaches to mental health care. The visit provided an opportunity to explore collaboration on mental health awareness and support for young people and creatives. As we mark Mental Health Awareness Month this October, we reaffirm the importance of breaking stigma, encouraging early help-seeking, and ensuring that no one feels alone in their mental health journey.
