Kaleab Mencha

I deliver psychiatric assessments, counseling, psychoeducation, crisis support, care planning, and follow-up at Omna Health Service, supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety, psychosis, bipolar disorder, substance-use-related problems, and other mental health concerns.

I also facilitate mental health training with Alliance for Understanding Recovery & Awareness (AURA), covering psychological well-being, early identification, referral pathways, psychological first aid, active listening, and recovery-oriented care. My hospital internship at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Hospital gave me outpatient and inpatient experience in psychiatric care, substance-use screening, withdrawal management, motivational interviewing, and community outreach.

Alongside clinical work, I founded Mahtot Children and Youth Empowerment and coordinate youth-centered programs at ECYDO. I bring project planning, monitoring, stakeholder coordination, research, and a strong commitment to accessible, ethical, person-centered mental health support.
