Frequently Asked Questions

MindShift MENA is a student org that aims to destigmatize and educate about mental health in the MENA region (Middle East North Africa region). We do this through content (blogs on our website, posts on social media, MindShift Minutes on Instagram, etc.) and events (online workshops)

The MindShift MENA founder is a female student living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Her name is Nada Abdelatti. However, our team consists of people all around the MENA region.

Undoubtedly, mental health stigma is a persisting issue worldwide. However. the conversation about mental health is much more normalized in Western countries than it is in the MENA region. Due to culture, mental health is still seen as taboo, and many remain misinformed about it. Our goal is to help tackle the stigmatisaton of mental health and educate others. You can read more about stigma in the MENA region in our blogs
