The team at Arogi Trauma Care Foundation has been an invaluable partner in the mission of Headfort Foundation. Their exceptional expertise in mental health therapy has had a profound impact on the lives of our beneficiaries, many of whom have faced significant trauma and challenges. Through their dedicated and compassionate approach, Arogi’s professionals have provided vital psychological support, helping our beneficiaries navigate complex emotional and mental health struggles.

The tailored therapy sessions and trauma-informed care offered by Arogi Trauma Care Foundation have enabled individuals in our care to heal, regain their sense of agency, and rebuild their lives. Whether it’s providing one-on-one therapy, conducting group sessions, or offering ongoing support, their work has been integral to our broader mission of ensuring that individuals, especially those affected by injustice, trauma, and human rights violations, receive holistic care.

We have witnessed firsthand how Arogi’s approach not only addresses the immediate mental health needs of our beneficiaries but also empowers them to overcome past traumas, improve their emotional well-being, and equip them with the tools to thrive moving forward. The transformation we’ve seen in our beneficiaries is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the Arogi team.

As we continue to expand our reach and support even more individuals in need, we are excited about the continued collaboration with Arogi. Their unwavering commitment to mental health advocacy aligns perfectly with Headfort Foundation’s mission, and together, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

I’m Chiamaka Eugene, a student of the Federal University of Technology, Owerri studying Public Health and currently in my fourth year of school. I came across Arogi Trauma Care Foundation and I was advantaged to have been accepted as a volunteer after my application.

I can say Arogi has been of great impact not only to me but to my fellow students and the general public, through their various programs and inspiring activities. I can testify to this with their wonderful collaborations on mental health programs such as on Drug abuse, Stress coping mechanisms while school etc of which I had engaged in my school while I served as the Faculty’s Director of Health and the Health and Fitness Director of the Rotaract Club of FUTO.

They never for once declined and the organization was more than willing to make collaborative efforts which they always delivered! I strongly believe in Arogi’s impact not only on students but on individuals personally and community at large. Her resilience is intentional and top-notch.

As the Program Coordinator of Omodaadaa Foundation, I believe NGOs grow stronger when they build meaningful collaborations with organizations that share their vision and commitment to impact. Arogi Trauma Care Foundation is one of those partners.

When we took our first major step into mental health advocacy with Men’s Mental Health Awareness Outreach 1.0, working with Arogi Trauma Care Foundation made a real difference. They didn’t just bring their expertise in trauma care and mental health support, but they also provided a professional and welcoming environment that made the outreach smooth and effective. From planning to execution, they were fully involved, helping to create a safe space where men felt heard and supported.

Even after the outreach, Arogi has continued to offer free mental health support and referrals to men who reached out in the months that followed. Many have shared how much they appreciate the care, professionalism, and compassion they received, reinforcing the importance of accessible mental health services in our communities.

At Omodaadaa Foundation, we strongly recommend Arogi Trauma Care Foundation not just for the services they provide, but for the way they create genuine spaces for healing and support. As we prepare for Men’s Mental Health Awareness Outreach 2.0, we are excited to continue working with them, breaking the stigma around men’s mental health and expanding access to the help that so many need.

We are truly grateful to Arogi Trauma Care Foundation for their dedication to mental health and community impact. They are not just a partner—they are a vital force for change.

During my tenure as the Commandant of the Nigerian Red Cross, UNILAG Detachment, we had the privilege of hosting representatives from Arogi Trauma Care during our Enrolment and patron investiture in July 2024. The representatives provided us with invaluable insights into the importance of mental well-being, the impact of thoughts on behavior, and the significance of a stable mind. My members were not only informed but also empowered with practical knowledge on identifying mental health challenges, seeking appropriate solutions, and supporting others. Beyond personal growth, this experience fostered a heightened sense of responsibility among our members, inspiring many to actively volunteer in various mental health advocacy programs.

We received the representatives of Arogi Trauma Care Foundation during the Maiden Edition of our Mental Health Symposium at the Department of Counselling & Human Development Studies, University of Ibadan in December 2024. We had the opportunity to be exposed to the significance of wellbeing, the role of thought in behaviour, the stable mind among other things. Participants were duly informed and empowered. Not just have this helped us personally, but it has also created a sense of responsibility among our members, we now see people volunteer in different Mental Health Advocacy Program. They now know how to identify a challenge when there is one, what to do and where to go to in an attempt to remediate such.

Our collaboration with Arogi Trauma Care Foundation for the World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 Twitter Space was deeply meaningful and necessary. This initiative was birthed from a place of loss — the painful passing of one of our own to suicide. It was our way of creating a space for awareness, education and support on mental health. The session was incredibly insightful, with participation from IFASA members, students across OAU and even beyond. We took the time to gather questions beforehand from our members, ensuring that the conversation was relevant and that concerns were adequately addressed. The speakers from Arogi did not just provide expert knowledge; they spoke with compassion, understanding and a deep commitment to mental health advocacy. The responses from attendees has been overwhelming — many reached out afterward to share how much the session resonated with them. Though we had hoped for a larger turnout, those present left truly impacted. This has strengthened our resolve to take mental health advocacy even further, expanding the reach and engagement of such conversations on campus and beyond. We deeply appreciate Arogi Trauma Care Foundation for standing with us in this cause. Looking ahead, we are excited and already making preparations for yet another collaboration — the upcoming Wellness Hangout in our school. We look forward to working together once again to promote a healthier and more supportive environment for students.
