Championing School Mental Health at Parliament of Uganda Mental Health Awareness Camp
JMERC joins partners during a mental health awareness camp at Parliament of Uganda.
We turn evidence into action by designing, testing, and scaling innovative solutions that address the interconnected challenges facing children and adolescents. Every solution we create is grounded in research and designed for lasting impact.
Working alongside governments, schools, families, and communities, we strengthen the systems children and adolescents depend on to improve development, learning, wellbeing, resilience, agency, and life outcomes.
Promise Statement
JMERC measures impact through improvements in learning, enrolment, resilience, and wellbeing for children and adolescents, and in agency for adolescent girls while strengthening teacher agency and autonomy to sustain impact through education systems.
