Our Programmes

What We Do & How We Do It.

Four interconnected programmes designed to meet Liberians where they are — whether they are in crisis at 2am, struggling in school, healing from trauma, or caught in the grip of substance dependence.

Programme 01

Toll-Free Mental Health Helpline

One call. Free. Confidential. Life-changing.

The L2SLiberia helpline is one of the few youth-focused mental health hotlines in Liberia.

Crisis intervention and suicide risk assessment

Immediate psychosocial support for anxiety, depression, and trauma

GBV survivor support and emergency referral

Substance misuse counselling and family conflict support

Warm referral to hospitals, safe houses, and partner services

Follow-up calls for high-risk callers within 72 hours

Programme 02

Youth Caregiver Fellowship

Training the next generation of community mental health supporters.

This grassroots model trains young Liberians to deliver brief, structured psychosocial interventions within their own communities. Fellows become the first point of contact for peers and neighbours experiencing distress — reducing barriers, reducing stigma, and decentralising care to where it is most needed.

Structured training in empathy, active listening, and confidentiality

Evidence-based psychosocial first aid and brief intervention skills

Referral systems and crisis escalation protocols

Ongoing supervision and peer support groups

420 youth trained in psychosocial support skills in 2025

Deployed across 11 communities and 18 schools

Programme 03

National Police & Security Mental Health Programme

Bringing mental health support inside institutions that carry trauma daily.

Law enforcement and security personnel in Liberia carry enormous psychological burdens — exposure to violence, trauma, chronic stress, and institutional pressure — with almost no dedicated mental health support. L2SLiberia works with the Liberia National Police and security institutions to provide structured mental health awareness, confidential support access, and psychosocial capacity within the security sector.

Mental health sensitisation workshops for police officers and security staff

Confidential access to the L2SLiberia hotline for security personnel

Training for designated peer support leads within institutions

Trauma-informed leadership and stress management sessions

Reducing internal stigma and normalising help-seeking within the security sector

Partnership with LNP command structure on institutional wellbeing

Programme 04

Substance Abuse & Reintegration Programme

Meeting people in the grip of dependence with dignity, not judgement.

Substance abuse is a growing crisis in Liberia — driven by poverty, unemployment, trauma, and the absence of structured support. L2SLiberia's substance abuse and reintegration programme provides brief motivational counselling, community-based recovery support, and structured pathways back into family and community life for those struggling with dependence.

Brief motivational interviewing and psychosocial counselling for substance users

Family and community sensitisation to reduce stigma and enable reintegration

Referral to treatment facilities and rehabilitation partners

Peer recovery support groups facilitated by trained youth caregivers

Follow-up and relapse prevention support for individuals in recovery

Structured community reintegration pathways post-treatment

Cross-Cutting Programme

School-Based Resilience & Awareness Programme.

Embedded across all our community work, our school-based programme reaches students where they spend the majority of their time — with sessions on stress management, exam anxiety, peer conflict, substance awareness, and emotional regulation. Teachers are equipped with basic psychosocial tools. Students are given a hotline number and the permission to use it.

65% Youth Beneficiaries

Of all programme beneficiaries in 2025 were between the ages of 15 and 31.
