Mental Health Awareness Initiative

In April 2021, two friends came together intending to advance mental health in Armenia by raising public awareness of mental health. The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2020 NK conflict were among the many factors that highlighted the existing gaps in mental health care and challenges that were and continue to be present in accessing appropriate support. Gevorg and Artak felt that to help the community heal and thrive, necessary mechanisms for mental health education and promotion of mental health should be in place throughout Armenia. With the support of Millennial Psychologist, this aspiration led them to found the Mental Health Awareness Initiative, aiming to deliver a solid platform for mental health professionals to combine their knowledge and expertise to raise Mental Health Awareness. 📌 Our Vision & Mission Our Vision is a world where communities, governing bodies and businesses create supportive environments free of discrimination for mental health well-being with accessible mental health care.
