Centre for Mental Health Research and Initiative
A non-profit dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and eliminating the stigma associated with mental illness, through service and research.
Our partners play a vital role in helping us achieve our mission. Working with leading healthcare providers, educational institutions, government agencies and community organisations, we build a support network for mental health services across Lagos — expanding access to care, advancing research, and raising awareness so that people get the support they need on their mental health journey.
Why it matters
Partnerships are more crucial than ever
Global mental health challenges continue to strain the resources of healthcare systems, governments and donors. Collaborations with mental health organisations, healthcare providers, educational institutions, NGOs, the private sector, foundations and research institutions strengthen the impact of our work.
Our partnerships take many forms — from multistakeholder discussions that exchange knowledge and shape new initiatives, through to active strategic collaborations addressing the growing mental health crisis.
By working together we maximise collective impact, mobilise resources faster, increase efficiency, and make sure support reaches the people who need it most.
