Mental health is the foundation of recovery. As crises unfold across the world, integrating psychological support into humanitarian response is no longer optional, it’s essential. At Convo Africa, we believe healing begins when people feel seen, supported, and connected.
Emotional regulation and social-emotional learning (SEL) are no longer “nice-to-have” extras in education, they are essential. Across schools in the U.S. and around the world, SEL is being implemented to help children build self-awareness, empathy, and resilience. From reducing suspensions in classrooms to improving workplace culture, the benefits are clear: when people learn how to regulate their emotions, they’re better equipped to handle life’s challenges without resorting to violence, addiction, or despair.
When crisis strikes, why do some people collapse while others adapt and grow? Groundbreaking research reveals resilience isn't about toughness - it's a learnable skill rooted in neuroscience. From Holocaust survivors to modern lab experiments, we explore how genes, childhood experiences, and daily practices shape our capacity to endure hardship. Plus: Science-backed strategies to strengthen your psychological resilience starting today.

While society often believes men handle divorce better, studies show that they suffer just as deeply, if not more, from the emotional toll. Men tend to skip the grieving process, are isolated by small support networks, and often bear the blame for the divorce, which leads to feelings of guilt and shame. This emotional burden, combined with financial strains and the loss of identity, takes a severe toll on men’s well-being. Divorce can trigger depression, anxiety, and even serious health conditions, proving that men, too, are vulnerable to the deep scars that divorce leaves behind.
Dear 2025, we are a generation that has seen more of the world’s complexities and challenges than any of us should have to. As we stand on the threshold of a new year, I want to speak directly to you, to ask for compassion and to demand justice. We, the youth, are tired. We are tired of feeling like we have to fight for our future with our very lives. 2025, please be kinder to us. We want to thrive, not just survive.
Family caregivers are the quiet backbone of support for seniors living with chronic illnesses. When they are equipped with clear knowledge, practical tools, emotional support, and a real voice in decision-making, both caregivers and older adults experience better health and quality of life. Empowering caregivers means offering training on daily care tasks, guidance on medication and symptom management, access to supportive communities, and time for rest. With the right structures, routines, and technology, families can navigate complex long-term conditions with greater confidence, resilience, and dignity.
