The Kenya Mental Health and Technology Project aims to improve student well-being
through digital innovation and collaboration. Building on partnerships between Kenyan
universities and UVU, the project seeks to raise awareness about mental health, reduce
stigma, and provide accessible, private support for young people. Central to the initiative
is the development of a mobile app that offers basic mental health information, connects
users to local counseling resources, and creates clear referral pathways for those
in need of professional care. By integrating AI and technology, the project strives
to make mental health support more responsive, inclusive, and tailored to university
communities.
