From The Borgen project
“Mental health in Nicaragua is closely linked to poverty, with about 25% of the population living in poverty, according to the World Food Program (WFP). Individuals in Nicaragua are exposed to stressors like food insecurity, economic instability and limited access to basic services for survival. These socioeconomic pressures lead to lifelong struggles and psychological distress.
Addressing the mental health struggles linked to life in Nicaragua’s economy is complicated by financial hardship and limited access to care.”
