Mental Health Initiative

Teenagers and young adults (U 25)

Older people (over 65)

We are a newly founded (since 7 September 2020) social start-up from Munich. We are active in the field of Mental Health (mental / psychological health ). We are a non-profit limited liability company and are mainly financed by donations from private individuals and companies as well as public funding and tenders. We will join asap the initiative Transparent Civil Society.

Our vision and mission are: "We advocate for a society in which the mental health and well-being of all is sustainably strengthened across the lifespan. Specifically, for us, this includes: promoting prevention, reducing stigma, creating public awareness, and exerting political and social influence."

The goal of our work is to strengthen Mental Health, prevent mental illness and suicide, and help people with mental disorders resume their lives free from distressing symptoms and their social consequences. Mental Health Initiative actively advocates for the social participation of people with mental illness and against their stigmatization and exclusion. The focus is on a holistic view of the person with all individual, psychological, physical and social aspects.

To this end, we are launching the Youth Aware of Mental Health program, or YAM for short. YAM strengthens the mental health of adolescents. Scientific studies have shown that YAM reduces suicide attempts by 50% and new cases of depression by 30%.

...us to make the importance of mental health more visible (e.g. via social media) to young and older people. And not only that! Of course you contribute to strengthening the mental health of your generation - whether young or old.
