About
The Psychosocial Development and Response Organization (PDRO) is a lived experience–led, community driven movement transforming mental health care in Kenya.
Psychosocial Development and Response Organization
We offer personalized coaching to help individuals with lived experience craft and share their stories safely and impactfully for advocacy and healing.
Lived Experience Bureau
We connect organizations with trained mental health advocates who share personal stories and insights to enhance programs, research, and events.
WHO QualityRights Integration
We provide training and consulting to help organizations align mental health practices with international human rights standards.
We help institutions build inclusive, mentally healthy workplaces that prevent burnout and support all employees.
Peer Researchers & Lived Experience Advisors
We partner with researchers, organizations, and individuals to integrate lived experience into mental health and psychosocial research and program design.
Climate & Mental Health Advocacy
We raise awareness of how climate change affects mental well-being and advocate for inclusive, eco-mental health solutions.
Wellness in Nature
We organize therapeutic outdoor experiences that use nature to promote emotional healing and stress relief.
Mental Health & Inclusion Trainings
We deliver interactive workshops on mental health literacy, stigma reduction, suicide prevention, and inclusive practices.
The first of its kind in the Global South, this network equips individuals with psychosocial disabilities to use their experiences for education, healing, and change.
Mental health is not just a medical issue—it’s a human rights, development, and community issue. At PDRO Kenya, we work at the intersection of lived experience, cultural relevance, and grassroots action to create psychosocial systems that are responsive, inclusive, and transformative.
Our Vision
A society where psychosocial well-being is recognized
