Proud Milestone For Cope And Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation
We were honored to participate in the Enugu State Train-the-Trainer Workshop on the Downscaling of the 2026 Seasonal Climate Prediction (SCP), organized by the Enugu State Ministry of Agriculture and Agro Industrialization in collaboration with the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet).
Event Details:
Dates: 8th – 10th April 2026
Venues: Adada Hall, Nsukka (Enugu North) | Agwu LGA Hall (Enugu West) | Amagu Nze Hall, Nkanu East LGA
We were the only mental health organization invited to the programme.
Represented by our Co-Founder, Mrs. Uzoamaka Nwachukwu — a seasoned mental health expert — we delivered impactful sessions on:
Topic: Overcoming Eco-Anxiety: Building Mental Resilience and Peace of Mind for Farmers
Key points covered:
The deep link between climate variability and farmers’ mental health in Nigeria
How unpredictable weather triggers eco-anxiety, affecting income, food security, family stability, and overall productivity
Practical strategies for building mental resilience amid climate uncertainty
The sessions were exceptionally well-received, sparking lively discussions during the Q&A segments.
Timely Relevance
Our intervention came at a critical moment. On Day 2 (9th April), the Federal Government, through the National Flood Early Warning Centre, issued a fresh alert urging 10 states — including Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo, Delta, Rivers, Abia, and others — to prepare for heavy rainfall and potential flooding between 8th–12th April 2026. This real-time climate risk perfectly underscored why mental health support must be integrated into agricultural and climate resilience efforts.
Our talk was strategically placed right after the Honourable Commissioner’s Welcome Address, highlighting the organizers’ recognition that mental health is a vital pillar of food security and climate adaptation.
Key Outcomes:
Successfully mainstreamed community mental health into a major state-level climate and agriculture platform
Equipped farmers, extension workers, and stakeholders with tools to manage eco-anxiety
Built valuable networks with government officials, NiMet experts, and agricultural leaders
At Cope and Live Mental Health Awareness Foundation, we remain committed to ensuring that mental health is not an afterthought in Nigeria’s agricultural transformation and climate resilience journey.
Climate change doesn’t just affect crops — it affects minds and livelihoods. Let’s keep the conversation going.
