About the organisation We at MYND Initiative Inc. believe that mental health matters to everyone and that everyone has their own story to tell.

In doing this we hope to develop communities of understanding who are able to listen to and support those struggling with mental health issues as well as enabling those communities to develop individualised mental health awareness programs.
