Serenity Wellness Center (SWC) is a non-profit mental health organization incorporated on March 4, 2019. It operates as a social enterprise in response to emerging mental health challenges in Zambia, such as alcohol and substance use disorders and other mental health issues. The prevalence of mental health disorders and challenges in coping with life at all levels has been exacerbated by poverty and the post-Covid-19 pandemic effects. Therefore, our multifaceted prevention, treatment, and recovery interventions are designed to meet mental health needs at individual, family, community, school, and workplace levels. We continue to partner with both state and non-state actors to actualize our vision of a society enjoying quality mental health and wellness.
