Training & Capacity Building

What We Deliver

Investing in People

FYNEX believes that sustainable mental health change in Zimbabwe requires a pipeline of skilled, culturally competent practitioners. Our training programmes combine evidence-based practice with deep respect for indigenous knowledge systems — producing counsellors who can serve their communities with both professionalism and cultural fluency.

Our HEXCO-accredited National Certificate in Counselling provides structured, rigorous training, while our Afrocentric Toolkit Series addresses the specific mental health needs of boys and young men through culturally resonant frameworks.

The Afrocentric Toolkit

Developed in response to the reality that many Western therapeutic frameworks fail to resonate with Zimbabwean clients, the Afrocentric Toolkit Series integrates Shona and Ndebele wisdom with clinical best practice. It addresses topics such as masculinity, identity, grief, and resilience through lenses that feel familiar and affirming rather than alien and clinical.
