Education in EmergencyThe Problem
There are 1.5 billion people in the world that suffer from mental health issues and more than 67.5% of these people do not get support. This situation is even more severe in Arab countries. For instance, in Palestine, 80% of people who are seeking mental health support were not able to find it in 2021.
The Solution
Hakini, (“Tell me”, in Arabic) is an online mental wellness platform that provides guidance for self-help intervention and teletherapy to increase accessibility to mental health care in Arabic language. Hakini provides three levels of support, starting from raising awareness to prevention and one-on-one counseling.
Impact
By providing better access to mental health services, the organization contributes to the promotion of social resilience, good health and wellbeing among people in Arab countries. Better access to mental health services contributes to the economy, education and other aspects within the community.
