The Youth Cafe in partnership with Shamiri Institute are seeking an energetic and self-motivated team player to join our class of Fellows at The Youth Cafe for the Shamiri Program.
The Shamiri Program is a mental healthcare intervention program that seeks to provide affordable and accessible mental health services to underserved youth by developing their character strengths to reduce mental health problems and improve overall wellbeing and functioning.
Clinical Supervisors will be part of the Shamiri Program—a youth-led, youth-oriented mental health care program and delivery system that integrates two essential elements: 1) a rigorously tested evidence-based mental health intervention (the Shamiri, or “Thrive!” in Kiswahili, intervention) that includes simple, empirically supported psychological elements, uses stigma-free, culturally appropriate content, and 2) dissemination in secondary schools by youths trained as lay-providers and integration into a three-tier mental health care model that brings together youth lay-providers and expert clinicians and psychiatrists. The role of the Supervisors will be to oversee and supervise our Fellows (youth lay-providers). The project will focus mainly in Murang'a County.
