Introduction: Babcock Mental Health Partnership Responds to National Crisis
The Babcock mental health partnership moved into the spotlight as the university hosted the sixth Faith Integration (IFI) Symposium. The event focused on combining spiritual care with scientific mental health practice in Nigeria.
Nigeria faces rising mental health challenges. However, access to care remains limited for many citizens.
Nigeria’s Mental Health Crisis Requires Holistic Solutions
According to global health estimates, over 20 percent of Nigerians live with mental health conditions. Yet, fewer than 10 percent receive proper treatment.
As a result, stigma and poor access continue to block recovery. Therefore, experts now call for integrated and inclusive solutions.
Babcock Mental Health Partnership Brings Experts Together
To respond, Babcock University convened healthcare professionals, clergy, academics, and students. The symposium held at the Babcock Business School auditorium.
Moreover, the theme “Healing Body and Soul” highlighted the need for balance between faith and clinical care.
