Over the years, average Nigerians are exposed to stressors from life changing events, political instability, economic obscurity and unemployment amidst others, which lead to poor state of mental health. Research has shown that the prevalence of mental illness is alarming in Nigeria. Further findings show total neglect of mental health care in Nigeria and painfully, there is no adequate support from family, the government and non-governmental organizations.

Our goal is to stop the stigma attached to mental illness by increasing awareness and promoting attentiveness to mental health concerns and management. We will also try to spur the Nigerian government and other world health bodies to work together to make provision for adequate mental health care for victims of mental illness in Nigeria.

“The fact is that Nigeria’s future, ability to be high-yielding and maintain high security standard lies in good mental wellbeing and affluent physical health.”
