This Voice Afrique conversation series between Fr Stan Chu Ilo and Dr. Anthonia Otunla brings to you stories and a Gospel of healing and strength. We provide a safe and communal a space of faith and positive psychology for healing, and hope for people who are suffering from trauma, wounded memories, hunted by their past and other burdens that weigh down the soul, mind, body, and spirit.

I’m Stan Chu Ilo, and in this special series, I invite you to join me and Dr. Anthonia Otunla — a compassionate physician, counselor, and faith-filled woman — as we explore the hidden wounds of the mind and the heart that many in Africa and across the world quietly carry.

This series, Healing the Mind, Restoring the Soul, is our response to the growing mental health and trauma crisis that touches every family, community, and church. Together with Dr. Otunla, we will listen to the stories of pain and resilience that too often go unheard — the struggles with depression, anxiety, violence, loss, and the silent battles of everyday life.

But more importantly, we will also seek paths toward healing and wholeness — discovering how faith, community, and compassionate care can restore dignity and hope to those who suffer.

From Scripture to lived experience, from the wisdom of psychology to the language of the Gospel, this series invites us to see that God walks with us even in our brokenness, and that healing begins when we dare to speak, to listen, and to love again.

So, wherever you ar — in your home, your car, your parish, or your place of work — take a deep breath, open your heart, and join us on this sacred journey toward healing and renewal.

This is a series where faith meets mental health, and hope finds a voice.
