Mentally Aware Nigeria Initiative (hereafter referred to as MANI) is a non-profit organization
focused on raising awareness on mental health and illnesses, as well as working to connect
service users to mental health professionals.

MANI was founded and registered in Nigeria in
December 2015 with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC/IT NO 83725) but was officially launched on the 11th of June 2016 by a team of young doctors and concerned individuals led by Dr Victor Ugo.

MANI's Counselling team consists of dedicated mental health professionals, and trained counsellors who work on providing free mental health & emotional first aid, dealing with various cases ranging from suicide intervention to feelings of loneliness, persons needing someone to talk to or just seeking support in any way.

At the moment, we are dealing with an active crisis situation in Nigeria and our counselors are overwhelmed.

We are looking for counselors, peer support specialists and anyone with experience providing crisis support, from other countries who are open to helping us spread out our case load.
Crisis Support will be done over WhatsApp calls and texts.

Thank you for your support.
