The Challenge

Three barriers keep people silent

Most people struggling with mental health have never spoken about it. Not because help doesn't exist, but because the path to help is broken.

58%

Fear Being Identified

Nearly three in five people with a mental illness don't seek support because they worry about how they'll be perceived by others.

85%

Go Without Care

In low-income countries, around 85% of people who need mental health support receive no treatment at all, per the WHO. The path to help is broken.

1 per 1M

Too Few Professionals

In sub-Saharan Africa there is just one psychiatrist for every million people, per UNICEF and the WHO. Even willing people face impossible wait times.
