Mental Health and Wellbeing of Marginalised Populations in Africa is an authoritative reference that addresses the complex mental health challenges faced by diverse marginalised groups across the continent. It systematically examines issues stemming from civil unrest, displacement, HIV, gender-based violence, disability, and ageing, highlighting the socio-economic and political contexts that influence mental health outcomes. The volume synthesizes current evidence, offering a holistic understanding of the unique mental health needs of refugees, internally displaced persons, street children, care leavers, women living with FGM, and other vulnerable groups.
The content is organised into thematic chapters covering topics such as mental health impacts of genocide, conflict, climate change, and chronic illnesses, with empirical case studies from multiple African countries. It also explores resilience, community support systems, and innovative interventions, emphasising a strength-based approach aligned with health equity goals. The book provides a unified theoretical framework rooted in decolonization and social justice, fostering a deeper understanding of structural determinants and cultural factors shaping mental health.
