Mental Health Awareness Mission

Mental disorders are on the rise around the world; however the unfortunate lack of knowledge and awareness on mental health is owed to it still being very much a taboo subject in many cultures around the world.

Many people struggling with mental illness around the world are sometimes scorned by society and accused of being victims of witchcraft or evil spirits. Sometimes, society blames the patients themselves for their condition.  In those societies, those who display such signs of mental illness are likely to encounter judgement, fear or even hatred, or fear. In some cultures, common responses to aggressive, uncontrolled behaviour or even severe depression are still electroshocks, beatings or locking up.

Our mission at Askness is to continue to raise awareness and educate on mental health around the world. We fundraise and donate a percentage of our profits towards mental health charities and organisations around the world.
