Mental Health Africa

Mental Health Africa is a registered non-governmental organization founded in 2024, committed to raising mental health awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting individuals with mental health challenges across the continent. We believe that there is no health without mental health, and we work tirelessly to champion sustainable development goals while creating a more compassionate and understanding society.

Through our comprehensive programs, community outreach, and educational initiatives, we strive to break down barriers, provide essential resources, and foster environments where mental well-being is prioritized and nurtured for all individuals.

What We Do

At the heart of our work is a commitment to creating safe, accessible, and empowering mental health support for individuals, organizations, and communities. Our services are tailored to educate, heal, and transform.

1. Safe Space Talks

We create safe, non-judgmental spaces — especially for youth and students — to open up, learn, and connect around mental health challenges. These talks help normalize conversations around emotions, trauma, and healing.

✨ We recently hosted a successful Safe Space Talk in collaboration with My Afya Profile, reaching dozens of youth with meaningful conversations, support, and mental health education.

2. Corporate Trainings

We partner with organizations and companies to provide mental health and wellness training for staff and management. These sessions address workplace stress, burnout, emotional intelligence, and resilience — boosting both productivity and well-being in the workplace.

3. Online Mental Health Awareness Sessions

Through live streams, webinars, and virtual workshops, we reach wide audiences with educational content on topics such as depression, anxiety, self-care, and coping strategies. These online sessions are designed to make mental health knowledge accessible to all, regardless of location.

4. Counseling Sessions

We provide one-on-one and group counseling sessions with professional therapists and psychologists. These sessions offer personalized mental health support, guidance, and tools for healing and personal growth — either virtually or in person.
