HumAngle Foundation announces openings for a Lead Psychologist. We are looking for passionate professionals with dedication to social impact and supporting the mental health needs of civic actors in Nigeria.
As a country, we are steadily moving away from mental health being a taboo topic, but much misinformation and disinformation persist, not to mention the barriers to accessing mental health support.
