MENTAL HEALTH
The situation is particularly grave in low- and middle-income countries where seventy-seven per cent of global suicides occur. Worryingly, many of these countries are riddled with conflict and violence, leaving one in five people grappling with severe mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, which can reduce their life expectancy by 10–20 years.
Peace of Mind Association (PoMA) breaks cycles of suffering by providing inclusive, high-quality mental health care to foster sustainable development. Our holistic approach strengthens social ties, reduces poverty, advances human rights, tackles GBV and child rights, and supports research, conflict resolution, and education, empowering communities to thrive.
