Munannge Counseling Center in collaboration with Global Arts in Medicine Fellowship hosted a vibrant and interactive Mind Bloom wellness session at Nkumba University.
The interactive session was attended by 43 enthusiastic youth participants under the theme-line; “Small Habits, Big Bloom“.
This session is part of our ongoing effort to promote mental well-being through simple, daily habits, blending creativity, reflection, and peer support.
Through interactive Habit Stations — including deep breathing, gratitude writing, drawing feelings, and positive self-talk — participants explored simple daily habits to boost their mental well-being.
The session highlighted the importance of safe, creative spaces where young people can openly explore their feelings and learn practical mental health tools.
It reinforced the growing need for simple, accessible mental health practices — especially for youth balancing academic, social, and personal pressures.
Feedback from participants showed a strong appreciation for the hands-on activities, with many expressing their intention to adopt habits like daily gratitude, mindful breathing, and self-affirmation.
About Mind Bloom:

By combining art, mental health concepts, and relatable experiences, we hope to reduce stigma, spark small moments of reflection, and gently encourage young people to care for their minds, just like they would care for a growing plant.”
Mind bloom is to Promoting simple, everyday healthy habits that support better mental, health and emotional resilience, especially in stressful environments.
