The University of Namibia's (UNAM) Katima Mulilo Campus is hosting a wellness week focusing on mental health, leadership and overall wellbeing.

The week features a series of conversations and activities addressing men's and women's health and wellbeing.

Namibians have been urged to be their brother's keepers and show compassion when addressing social issues, particularly those affecting men's mental health.

Psychiatrist in the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS), Dr. Hileni Ndjaba, has reminded men to speak out and seek professional help when dealing with mental health challenges instead of suffering in silence.
