Mission Statement
We are a philanthropic, nonprofit organization that works independently to broaden the debate on and care for the prevention of illnesses and the promotion of mental health in Brazil. We support projects and initiatives that improve the quality of life of all people through mental health.
About This Cause
We develop partnerships with a focus on impacting public policy and innovation in mental health. Our main strategy is to focus on two areas, namely, grant-making and public policy. We have our own philanthropic budget and receive third-party donations to finance projects, programmes and various initiatives that are strategic to build and offer solutions and tools in mental health prevention and promotion, especially those geared to adolescents and women. We formulate, implement, assess and monitor public policies and laws, positioning mental health in the center of the Brazilian political agenda. We also work alongside governments to create tools and solutions that help to promote a better quality of care in the Brazilian public healthcare system. Besides the financed projects, we identify, systematize and multiply best practices within the ecosystem. We prioritise projects that have a structural impact on mental health, such as the training and development of human resources, the development and scale of community interventions, as well as the generation of innovation in mental health.
