Chaste Uwihoreye is a Rwandan clinical psychologist. He holds a PhD in psychotherapy with 18 years of experience in clinical practices in Rwanda. He is country director of Uyisenga Ni Imanzi, a child and youth-focused organization. Chaste has a particular commitment to decolonizing healing practices and promoting solidarity and cohesion using culturally based arts. Chaste has conducted many researches and has initiated different mental health rehabilitation and healing models targeting survivors of genocide, young girl victims of violence, young people addicted to drugs, adolescents and children in conflict with the law as well ex-combattants and children from armed groups. Chaste explains that translating mental health concepts from other languages to Kinyarwanda does not reflect the complexities of people's experiences, understandings, or processes of meaning-making (Denborough & Uwihoreye, 2019). Chaste notes that this views the mental distress as coming from within a person and is thus unaligned with Rwandan cultural worldviews, which frame mental distress as arising from interactions and events (Denborough & Uwihoreye, 2019). Chaste is pioneering an alternative approach, one which is deeply embedded in the Rwandan cultural context and informed by arts-based and narrative therapeutic approaches. For instance, Chaste uses proverbs as a way to connect with individuals, to express stories, and to listen. Chaste uses proverbs to describe a problem and separate it from an individual and to acknowledge that the person is the expert of their pain. Chaste published recently an article on translating Kinyarwanda into a clinical applicable language (Uwihoreye & all, 2021) to emphasize the importance of using local language for mental health. Chaste is starting publications in Kinyarwanda like Nzakubikira Ibanga( I will keep your secret) to assist Rwandans to deal with hardships and pain that may not be visible to the eye but that is real.
