Mental Health/ Psychological Support

Emotional wellbeing is essential — especially during the most vulnerable stages of life. At Amirrah, we provide free, confidential and compassionate mental-health support for adolescents, couples, parents, and caregivers navigating the many emotional challenges that accompany sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and early parenthood.

What we offer

Our mental-health services include confidential, tailored therapy sessions, delivered by certified therapists trained in SRH and parenthood-related support. These sessions are safe, non-judgmental spaces for individuals or couples experiencing:

Trauma or abuse related to sexual experiences
Difficult reproductive experiences or medical conditions
Trauma associated with childbirth or related medical events
Grief and loss, including miscarriage or abortion
Stress, anxiety, depression, or overwhelm in pregnancy or the postpartum period
Emotional strain or conflict during early parenting and caregiving transitions
Relationship challenges linked to changes brought on by reproductive journeys or new parenthood

Why This Support Matters

Experiences such as sexual trauma, difficult reproductive journeys, pregnancy, birth, and early parenting can deeply impact a person’s mental and emotional health. Feelings of grief, fear, anxiety, confusion, or overwhelm are common — but they shouldn’t be endured alone. With the right support, healing becomes possible, relationships strengthen, and families thrive.

Things you can try to practice general yet good mental health

Talk about your feelings and/or concerns with friends, family or a doctor
Try breathing exercises when you feel overwhelmed
Do physical activity where possible - this can improve your mood and help you sleep better
Eat a healthy diet
Join support groups that fit your current situation

Compare yourself with other people or families - everyone has different circumstances and ways of doing things (culturally, familially, financially)
Feel scared to talk to your doctor or healthcare professional
Use alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to make you feel better - these can harm you and your child(ren)
