Mental health support for Athumani after a difficult divorce
After a difficult divorce, Athumani has been on a waiting list for months - private therapy is the only option, and the cost is $300.
🇹🇿 Zanzibar City, Zanzibar Urban/West, Tanzania589 views
After a difficult divorce, Athumani has struggled with anxiety, sleep and panic attacks. The doctor has referred him to EMDR therapy, but the public waiting list is 6 months, and private sessions at a private practice in Zanzibar City cost $15 each.
Athumani has been honest with his employer and taken some time off, but can't keep going without support.
Therapy has already helped a little in the sessions Athumani could afford. The therapist recommends 16 weekly sessions, and consistent help will make the difference.
Asking for help with this has been the hardest part for Athumani, and we're grateful for your kindness without judgment.
Funds cover only therapy sessions, and I'll share progress updates (not private details) if I'm comfortable.
Where the $300 goes:
• 16 therapy sessions: $220
• Psychiatric assessment: $55
• Workbook and resources: $25
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong, Irene. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
