Serene
A stigma-reduction initiative creating safe spaces for youth and professionals to talk openly about mental health.
The story
The Challenge
Mental health awareness in Jeddah remains limited, with stigma and lack of accessible conversations preventing individuals from seeking support. Many young people face stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges without safe spaces to openly discuss or learn about mental well-being.
Objective
Serene provides safe spaces for open conversations through workshops, events, and interactive sessions. By engaging mental health professionals and youth together, it normalizes dialogue and reduces stigma.
Impact
The project has reached over +1000 beneficiaries, creating meaningful discussions, improving mental health awareness, and fostering a culture of acceptance and proactive well-being within the community.
