What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue delivering clinical and community mental health care, psychosocial support, counselling, training, and psychiatric nursing services for people affected by adversity and displacement.

I've delivered psychiatric and psychosocial services with OSSHD, JHPIEGO, Suhul General Hospital, and ICRC, providing counselling, psychological first aid, referrals, psychoeducation, and community-based mental health support.

I've also taught psychiatric nursing and related undergraduate courses at Adigrat University, advised student research, evaluated clinical attachments, and worked as a psychiatric professional in hospital settings. My MSc in Integrated Clinical and Community Mental Health supports my work across adult, child, adolescent, and substance-related mental health care.
