The global mental health crisis is a profound issue affecting people worldwide. The numbers are staggering: an estimated 970 million individuals grapple with mental illness, making it the leading cause of disability across all age groups. Tragically, mental health issues are also the leading cause of suicide, accounting for over 800,000 deaths annually.
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in stress, anxiety, and mental health disorders. The crisis is further exacerbated by the lack of access to mental health services in many regions. To address this urgent issue, the world desperately needs more mental health professionals dedicated to combating the crisis.
Our primary mission is to raise funds and provide scholarships to those aspiring to work in mental health-related professions. By supporting individuals early on and alleviating the financial burdens of entry, we aim to expand the mental health workforce and make a significant impact.
To address the crisis, governments and organizations must also take proactive steps to raise awareness, reduce stigma and discrimination, and increase access to mental health services. The global mental health crisis is a complex and serious issue that demands an urgent and coordinated response from entities worldwide.
Through our fundraising campaigns, events, and the dedication of our volunteers, we support students seeking careers in mental health-related fields. Our efforts also extend to providing lifelong services to meet the challenges of the crisis. We are committed to supporting anyone who aims to help others and make a direct impact on countless lives.
Support our cause and help students entering a mental health related profession. By donating, you reward those who decided to dedicate their profession to mental health, and ultimately make a difference in the lives of those living with mental illness. We are a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and donations are tax deductible.

Candidates who demonstrate how they overcame or are working to overcome mental health issues and how they plan to share their experience with others are given preferential award status.
