Educating young people about the dangers of drugs is not just about sharing information—it is about protecting their health, their minds, and their future. 🧠💙

Last week, Sasha, one of our Junior Psychologists, engaged with TelOne Centre for Learning first-year students in an important psychoeducation session on the long-term effects of crystal m**hamphetamine (m**h).

She highlighted some of the serious physical and psychological consequences of prolonged m**h use, including m**h mouth, severe dental damage that can lead to tooth decay and tooth loss; skin sores, often caused by excessive scratching and picking; and “m**h bugs” (formication)—the disturbing sensation of feeling like insects are crawling under or on the skin.

Sasha also discussed hallucinations and m**h-induced psychosis, where a person may lose touch with reality, experience false beliefs, hear or see things that are not there, or become extremely suspicious and confused. She referenced a case from Chegutu in which a man reportedly injured himself because he believed som**hing was moving inside his stomach—highlighting how dangerous drug-induced psychosis can become when hallucinations and delusions are not addressed.

Crystal m**h can also affect sensation and perception, causing unusual or distorted physical sensations. With continued use, it can contribute to serious mental health problems, including psychotic disorders and schizophrenia-spectrum conditions, which can significantly affect a person’s thoughts, emotions, behaviour, relationships, and ability to function in everyday life.

💡 The earlier young people understand the real effects of drug and substance use, the better equipped they are to make informed choices and protect their future.

Because educating the youth today means empowering them to make healthier choices tomorrow. Prevention starts with a conversation—and every conversation matters. 💙

🌿 Ashwagandha has become increasingly popular, particularly for managing stress, anxiety and sleep. But how much do we really know about it?

Ashwagandha is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine and is commonly available today as capsules, tablets and powder. While some research suggests potential benefits, including possible effects on stress, sleep and testosterone levels in some men, it is important to remember that *natural does not always mean safe*.

Excessive or inappropriate use may cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, stomach discomfort and drowsiness. There have also been reports of liver-related problems associated with its use. Pregnant women are advised to avoid Ashwagandha, while people with existing health conditions or those taking medication should consult a qualified healthcare professional before using it.

*Before using any herbal or medicinal product, understand both its potential benefits and risks.*

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional distress, or simply need someone to talk to, **come and speak to us.**

Mubatirapamwe is here to help.

🇿🇼 Happy Zimbabwe Defence Forces Day 🇿🇼

Today, we proudly honour the brave men and women of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces for their unwavering dedication, courage, and commitment to protecting our nation. Their service reminds us that strength is not only found on the battlefield but also in perseverance, discipline, and the determination to overcome challenges.

As we celebrate this special day, let us remember that every individual is called to fight a different kind of battle, the battle against drug and substance use. Just as our Defence Forces stand firm in protecting our nation, we encourage individuals, families, and communities to stand together in protecting lives from the harmful effects of drug and substance use.

To everyone on the journey of recovery, your courage deserves recognition. Every day you choose recovery is a victory. Stay committed, keep believing in yourself, and remember that healing is possible. Recovery is not a sign of weakness—it is an act of bravery and resilience.

On this Defence Forces Day, let us honour our nation's defenders by building stronger, healthier, and drug-free communities where hope, healing, and positive choices can flourish.

"True strength is not only defending a nation—it is also finding the courage to overcome adversity, choose recovery, and inspire hope in others."

🇿🇼 Happy Heroes Day, Zimbabwe! 🇿🇼

Today, we proudly remember the courageous sons and daughters of Zimbabwe whose sacrifice, determination, and love for their country paved the way for the freedom and peace we cherish today. Their legacy reminds us that true heroism is reflected not only in extraordinary acts of bravery but also in the everyday choices we make to uplift our communities.

As we commemorate Heroes Day, let us honor their memory by fostering unity, compassion, and responsibility. Together, we can build a healthier nation by supporting one another, promoting mental well-being, and encouraging a future free from drug and substance use.

"Our heroes gave us the gift of freedom. Let us honor them by building a nation filled with hope, resilience, and positive change."

Happy Heroes Day and National Defence Forces Day in advance to all our amazing caregivers! 🇿🇼

As we honor the heroes who sacrificed for our nation and celebrate those who continue to protect our peace, we also thank you for your dedication to protecting, guiding, and caring for children and recovering clients every day.

During this holiday, let's work together to create a safe and supportive environment for everyone struggling or recovering from drug and substance use. Avoid activities in the community that may expose children to drug and substance use. Adult alcohol, drug and substance consumption in the household serves as a powerful behavioral model and can significantly shape a child's long-term development, mental health, and future relationship with drugs and substances. Let's set positive examples and make choices that protect them.

This holiday season is also an important time to support individuals in recovery. Celebrations where alcohol and other substances are present can be challenging for those working hard to maintain sobriety. Families and communities play a vital role in relapse prevention by creating supportive, drug-free spaces, encouraging healthy recreation, and showing understanding rather than pressure or judgment.

Celebrate responsibly. Avoid fighting, violence, and any behavior that may lead to conflict. Drug and substance use and addiction can threaten your safety, your health, and the future of our children.

This Heroes Day and National Defence Forces Day, let peace, responsibility, recovery, and positive choices be our legacy. Together, we can prevent relapse, build safer families, strengthen our communities, and create a brighter future for every child. 💙

🇿🇼 **Happy Heroes Day & National Defence Forces Day in advance!** 💙

As we celebrate the heroes who fought for our nation and those who continue to protect it, let's also protect what matters most—our families and communities.

This holiday, celebrate responsibly. Children are watching and learning from the choices we make. Let's be positive role models by creating safe, substance-free environments that protect their future.

Remember, holidays can be especially challenging for people in recovery. Your support, encouragement, and understanding can make all the difference in preventing relapse. Together, we can help create spaces where recovery is respected and hope continues to grow.

**Let's choose peace over violence, responsibility over risk, and recovery over relapse. Together, We Can and We Will.**

“Knowledge is the first step toward making healthier choices and building a brighter future."

Today, a team from Mubatirapamwe PVO participated in the orientation programme for first-year students at the TelOne Centre for Learning .

The goal of the outreach was to raise awareness and sensitize first-year students on mental health, drug and substance use as critical life issues that may affect them during their period of study. Through engaging discussions and practical insights, students were encouraged to prioritize their well-being, make informed decisions, and seek support whenever needed.

Together, we can empower young people with the knowledge and confidence they need to build healthier, safer, and more successful futures

💧 Every African child deserves more than survival—they deserve the dignity of clean water, proper sanitation, good hygiene, and a healthy environment where they can grow, learn, and thrive.

Yesterday, a team from Mubatirapamwe PVO and Mubatirapamwe Rehabilitation Center proudly participated in the Commemoration of the African Child at Arcadia Community Hall under the theme:

“Ensuring Universal Access to Clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Every Child in Africa.”

The event was organized by the Harare City Council, brought together stakeholders committed to advancing the rights and well-being of children. Our goal was to provide psychoeducation and psychosocial support to the youth and members of the Arcadia community while engaging with key stakeholders, including the City Council ,members of the Junior Parliament and different Schools.

We were also excited to engage with the reigning Child President Tinashe Mugodi, who led the Junior Parliamentarians with remarkable passion and leadership, inspiring young people to be active voices for change.

A special thank you to the City Council of Harare for organizing this impactful event and creating a platform for collaboration, advocacy, and meaningful engagement for the future of our children.

💙 When we protect a child’s health, dignity, and mental well-being, we are building a stronger and more hopeful Africa for generations to come.

“The best way to fight social media addiction is not by avoiding technology—but by building strong protective factors that help us use it wisely.” 💙

Today, Mubatirapamwe team joined host Folake on Capitalk 100.4FM for an insightful discussion on protective factors for social media-related addiction.

The conversation highlighted the importance of creating healthy habits, strengthening family relationships, promoting digital literacy, encouraging open communication, and supporting positive mental health to reduce the risk of unhealthy social media use that leads to other substance and non-substance addictions.

Prevention begins with awareness, but lasting change begins with the choices we make every day. Together, we can create healthier online and offline lives.

A healthy mind builds a brighter future—and every conversation has the power to change a life. 🌱

On Friday, Mubatirapamwe team had the privilege of participating in the freshmen orientation programme at Harare Institute of Technology (HIT), engaging students aged approximately 18 years and older on the importance of mental health and the prevention of drug and substance use.

The outreach sought to raise awareness and equip students with knowledge and practical understanding of these key life issues, recognizing that university life presents both exciting opportunities and challenges. By encouraging informed choices, promoting emotional well-being, and addressing the risks associated with drug and substance use, we continue to empower young people to build healthier, more resilient futures.

We were honoured to collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders who share the vision of promoting student wellness, including AHPCZ (Allied Health Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe), NBSZ (National Blood Service Zimbabwe), Flexible Risk Solutions, ZAOGA on Campus, HIT Student Affairs Division, The Innovation and Technopreneurial University, Be That Man, Ecosure, Econet, and RCZ (Reformed Church in Zimbabwe).

Together, we are creating safer campuses, strengthening support systems, and reminding every student that seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness.

When we educate, we empower. When we empower, we transform lives. Together, let's continue building a generation that chooses hope, health, and a drug-free future. 💙
