Mental Health Alliance Pakistan

This collaboration unites organizations, mental health professionals, educators, and advocates in Pakistan to enhance mental health awareness, support, and services, aiming to create a society that prioritizes mental well-being. A collaborative initiative dedicated to improving mental health awareness, support, and services across Pakistan. This alliance brings together a network of organizations, mental health professionals, educators, advocates, and community leaders committed to fostering a society that prioritizes mental well-being. Through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and advocacy, we aim to break mental health stigma, enhance access to care, and empower individuals with the knowledge and tools they need to maintain mental health. As part of this initiative, we are extending a unique collaboration opportunity within the TPS Ambassadorship Program, a flagship project by The Project Suicide – a leading mental health and suicide prevention NPO in Pakistan. We are seeking partners to provide vital resources for our student ambassadors, including training in leadership, project management, mental health sustainability, psychoeducation, UN SDGs, and financial support to ensure the smooth operation of the program across Pakistan. In return, we offer naming rights for the program, which will be conducted in over 65 universities nationwide, providing unparalleled exposure and the chance to be part of a transformative movement that strengthens mental health support for Pakistan’s youth.

My motivation for joining Catalyst 2030 stems from a deep commitment to creating sustainable and impactful solutions for mental health and suicide prevention. Having witnessed and experienced the devastating effects of mental health challenges firsthand, I founded The Project Suicide to address stigma, promote help-seeking behavior, and provide accessible psychological services. Catalyst 2030’s mission of fostering collaboration and systemic change aligns perfectly with my vision of making mental health care a priority in underserved communities. By joining this global network of changemakers, I aim to contribute to innovative solutions, learn from diverse perspectives, and amplify my efforts to create a mentally healthier and more inclusive world.

The Project Suicide (TPS)

 Paris

Over the past 3 years, I have been leading a project focused on promoting mental health and suicide awareness in Pakistan and around the world. I discovered that this aligns with one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which led to my participation in the "Under the Starry Sky" Program by the World Federation of United Nations Associations, UNA Norway, and SpareBank Norway. This experience further fueled my passion for addressing the UN SDGs, prompting me to pursue a master's degree in Interdisciplinary Approaches to Research and Education at the Learning Planet Institute, Universite Paris Cite, France. This program brings together students from diverse backgrounds to collaborate on projects that tackle the UN SDGs. My dedication to sustainability and improving the world is what motivates me to be part of Catalyst Now.
