Who We Are

A Registered Mental Health
Initiative for Malawi's Youth

Let's Talk Mental Health Malawi is a youth-focused mental health initiative dedicated to improving access to mental health support, education, and advocacy. Established in 2020, we recognized the significant gaps in mental health support and awareness across Malawi and set out to close them.

We bridge disparities in mental health care delivery — providing first aid, tackling stigma, and ensuring that affected individuals and communities receive the support they need to lead healthier, fulfilling lives.
