Listen Later

Therapy has been helping Boko Haram survivors and street youth in Liberia turn their lives around.

In northern Nigeria, a programme called Counselling on Wheels is offering mobile mental health services in remote and dangerous areas.
They’ve been giving Boko Haram survivors and others affected by conflict a safe space to talk about the horrific violence and trauma they have been exposed to.
In Liberia, a project called Sustainable Transformation of Youth in Liberia has been using cognitive behavioural therapy and a cash reward to turn young men away from crime. A new study has shown the scheme is working.
