Shalom’s Home
Integrated Mental Health & Neurodevelopment Healing Village in Northern Uganda
Northern Uganda is home to thousands of children, youth, and adults living with untreated mental health conditions and undiagnosed neurodevelopmental differences. Years of conflict, displacement, and social stress have caused high rates of trauma, depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Key statistics
- Nearly 1 in 4 Ugandans lives with a mental health disorder (about 22.9% of children and 24.2% of adults).
- In Northern Uganda, PTSD affects 26.8% of children, major depression 19.5%, and generalized anxiety 13.4%.
- Neurodevelopmental conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia affect thousands of children, many of whom remain undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
Autism prevalence is estimated at 88 per 10,000 people, leaving tens of thousands in Northern Uganda without proper support. - Access to diagnosis, therapy, and safe residential care is extremely limited. This leaves thousands without the support they need, creating a critical service gap.
