MHPSS and Peacebuilding

Yesterday, YEEP Somalia was honored to participate in the MHPSS and Peacebuilding Dialogue organized by Brain Story Organization (BSO). The dialogue brought together practitioners, community representatives, and peacebuilding actors to exchange ideas on strengthening peace through Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and community-based approaches.
As part of the discussion, YEEP Somalia shared its experiences in implementing Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE) initiatives, reflecting on the importance of youth engagement, community participation, and psychosocial support in building resilient and peaceful communities. We emphasized that sustainable peace can only be achieved when young people are empowered to lead positive change and when the well-being of individuals and communities is placed at the center of peacebuilding efforts.
The dialogue provided an excellent opportunity to learn from one another, exchange practical experiences, and strengthen collaboration among organizations working toward a peaceful and resilient Somalia.
We sincerely thank Brain Story Organisation (BSO) for organizing this timely and impactful dialogue and for creating a platform that fosters meaningful conversations, shared learning, and collective action. We also appreciate all participants for their valuable contributions and commitment to advancing peace and social cohesion.
YEEP Somalia remains committed to working alongside partners, communities, and institutions to promote peace, strengthen resilience, and empower young people to become catalysts for positive change.
Together, we can build stronger communities and a more peaceful Somalia. 🇸🇴🕊️
