JOB DESCRIPTION

 

About the Organisation

World Mental Resilience Program (WMRP) was founded and formed as a response to the cognitive incapacitation and self-reliance incapacitation of the communities in developing countries in the face of rising cases of mental health breakdowns. The effects of the financial instabilities in developing countries and the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown measures saw skyrocketing unemployment statistics, loss of business and income generating opportunities in a wider scale. These events continue to demolish to the core, the cognitive capacity and the self-reliance capacity of the affected communities in developing countries. The access to essential livelihood needs such as food, health services and shelter continue to become dye as the majority of the affected individuals and families cannot afford adequate food, proper health services and proper standard shelter.

World Mental Resilience Program (WMRP) a groundbreaking organisation in Zimbabwe, seeks to recruit key individuals from its active members who would spearhead the organisation in achieving its vision in the promotion and facilitation of primary prevention of mental health breakdowns in communities as well as spearheading the recruitment exercise for the upcoming Save Humanity – A Fight for Humankind five (5) years program.

WMRP strategic plan for the next five years (2021 to 2026) is based on six empowerment pillars: Mental Wellness Empowerment, Behaviour Modification Empowerment, Enterprise Empowerment, Food Security and Nutrition Empowerment, Shelter and Safety Empowerment and Academic Empowerment.
