This afternoon, I joined academicians and other stakeholders for a meeting at @Makerere University School of Psychology, representing @HopeAndBeyondUg

A key highlight was the presentation of the @yucel Model by the YUCEL team from the Netherlands. The model is a simple, entred approach that used to support individuals struggling with mental health challenges to explore their lives and experiences.

Seeing different developments in supporting individuals with mental illnesses and substance-use challenges is promising.

Earlier this morning, we held a press conference at Kolping Hotel in Kampala, informing the masses about the upcoming 5th Uganda Alcohol Policy Conference, slated for the 25th and 26th of November 2026 @MakSPH Auditorium.

Uganda is ranked 1st in Africa and 5th globally as the tion in Africa, averaging about 12.2 litres of pure alcohol per person per year, which is nearly double the African regional average.

Alcohol has contributed to many of the mental health challenges contributing 20% of admissions in @butabika1955 and strain units across regional hospitals like, Gulu, Lira and Kabale.
Alcohol abuse is costing Uganda trillions of shillings in healthcare costs and lost productivity and social and community devastation. (@WHO , 2023)

Recognizing the severity of these public health and economic crises, we (UAPA), through the 5th Uganda Alcohol Policy Conference (#UAPC26), seeks to advance policy dialogue and collaborative action on alcohol control, bringing together stakeholders to examine existing challenges and identify practical approaches to reducing alcohol-related harm.

Professionals, academia , religious & cultural leaders, hospitals and organizations are encouraged to take part, contribute their expertise, share practical experiences, and help shape solutions that strengthen healthier and safer communities.ce

@PolicyUganda today confirms the 5th Uganda Alcohol Policy Conference 2026, speaking through its Vice Chairperson @BagumaRT at a media press briefing.

We are discussing the harm alcohol does in Uganda. Being number 1 in Africa for drunkenness is a shameful milestone.
