“How do I disconnect from work when I am out of the office?”

A question many of us wrestle with, but the answer is rarely a quick-fix formula. During one of our wellness workshops, a clinician responded with a surprising answer: “Come see me at the clinic.”

Why? Because your inner world is unique, and your mental well-being deserves support shaped around your story, not a generic template.

The moment you ask yourself, “How do I take better care of myself?” the journey has already begun.

If one were to observe a minute of silence for every victim of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, you would go mute for nearly two years. Few words can fully capture how low humanity once fell. Yet perhaps even fewer words can truly describe the extraordinary strength and resilience of a people who, against all odds, chose life, chose unity, and continue to show up every day to reveal the brighter side of humanity.

On this May 8, 2026, the team at Solid Minds Counselling Clinic came together in remembering the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

As a team that works every day at the intersection of healing, mental health, and human connection, this was a moment to pause from the urgency of daily work and stand in the presence of history. It was an opportunity to reflect on pain, resilience, responsibility, and the role each of us plays in shaping the kind of society future generations will inherit.

Work was never meant to cost us our mental health!

This International Labour Day, we are reminded that behind every title, every role, every position, there is a person. A person with limits, emotions, responsibilities, and a life beyond the workplace. Thriving at work should not come at the expense of our well-being. In fact, it is when people feel seen, valued, and supported that they are able to truly show up and do meaningful, impactful work.

Globally, 1 in 8 people lives with a mental health condition. In Rwanda, workplaces are increasingly facing rising levels of stress, burnout, and the silent weight of unaddressed mental health challenges. Long working hours, stigma, and limited access to structured support continue to shape how people experience work, often in ways that go unseen and unspoken.

Beyond the human impact, the cost is also economic. Depression and anxiety alone cost the global economy over $1 trillion every year in lost productivity. Poor mental health affects performance, increases absenteeism and presenteeism, and weakens organizational resilience. Simply put, when mental health is ignored, both people and systems suffer. This is why building compassionate workplaces is not optional anymore. It is essential. It requires all of us: leaders, teams, institutions, and individuals to play a role in creating environments where people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive.

Because the future of work depends on how well we take care of the people within it.

On this International Day of Reflection on the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi, Solid Minds Counselling Clinic joins all Rwandans in remembering the victims of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. We honor their memory and stand with survivors on this journey of healing.

We Remember, Unite, and Renew.

Autism is not a limitation. It’s a different way of experiencing the world.

This World Autism Awareness Day, we are reminded that behind every label is a human being with their own voice, strengths, challenges, and potential. Autism is not something to fix or cure. It is part of the rich diversity of how people think, feel, and connect.

The earlier a child is understood and supported, the greater the difference it makes for them, and for everyone around them.

At Solid Minds Counselling Clinic, we believe in a world where every individual is met with understanding, respect, and inclusion because every life has value. 💙

To our colleagues, friends, and partners,
May this special day bring you peace, renewed strength, and meaningful moments with those who matter most.

Eid Mubarak.
