HAPpINESS HEALTH CARE (HHC) FOUNDATION

The goal of HHC Foundation is to increase access to effective, evidence-
based treatments for common medical disorders, especially mental,
neurological and substance use disorders in underserved areas of Nigeria
by training primary care workers in rural communities to screen for,
assess and manage these disorders in their communities with specialist
support and supervision. Training is done with the World Health
Organization’s (WHO) Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP)
Intervention Guide version 2.0 and other validated training tools, adapted
to the local area.
