Mileage Community Centre (CBO)
“CBO - Affordable counselling center with carering approach to mental health.”
About Us
We run a community-based mental health organisation in Pakawa, Rift Valley, Kenya. We offer a day centre, psychological and diagnostic assessments for adults and children, and therapy for children and adolescents. We serve individuals and families in the local area seeking assessment or therapy.
Approach
At our centre in Pakawa, sessions move at a steady, practical pace that balances listening, simple assessments and hands-on planning. We use short, focused assessments and collaborative goal-setting to shape therapy for children, adolescents and adults, then translate findings into everyday strategies families can try between visits. Sessions blend talk, activity and community-linked supports so progress is measurable and culturally rooted. People seeking clear steps, family involvement and local supports often find this approach most helpful.
