We are proud to say that since our birth in 2011, MINDS has been focused on community-level systemic change. Through close collaboration with local stakeholders including: teachers, village & community leaders, local governments, and clinicians—we have been able to continuously modify our programs to deliver a human-centered approach to mental health care.
Our volunteers have been essential to the growth of our mission. They not only bring unique ideas, experiences, and backgrounds, but they work on-the-ground to force our teams to continue developing innovative approaches to delivering mental health care.
We have been serving over 250 communities, consisting of a population of over 650,000 individuals since 2011 and have touched the lives of over 2.5 million individuals through our programming.
Through our school mental health education program, we have been able to provide direct programming for over 122,000 schoolchildren and over 32,750 teachers.
Health and wellbeing is a universal human right. We all deserve to live in a world where our mental health is seen to be as important as our physical health. Today, a person takes their own life every 40 seconds. 1 in 4 of us will experience mental ill health.
Everyone, everywhere should have someone to turn to in support of their mental health.
We at MINDS are committed to combating mental ill health through a multi-pronged approach. Through mental health education and training in communities, corporate settings, academic institutions—we aim to bring a preventative approach to decreasing the global burden of mental ill health. Through partnerships with existing infrastructure and clinics, we aim to increase access to high-quality mental health care for those in need. Lastly, by focusing on integrating the arts, media, and storytelling, we aim to decrease the stigma and increase the conversation around mental health to nurture the development of a positive environment.
