We Champion Mental Wellness
for the Next Generation
At the Mentally Resilient Youth Network, we envision a world where every young person thrives emotionally, mentally, and socially. Through education, support, and advocacy, we empower youth to take charge of their mental wellbeing and build a culture of resilience.
Our Story
From passion to purpose — how our journey began and where we’re going.
The Mentally Resilient Youth Network was founded from passion for mental health, from the lived experiences of the leaders of the organization and we also identified the gap between young Africans, their knowledge of mental health, accessibility to resources and support for them to thrive with healthy mind, and we are on the journey to bridge the gap.
Our journey started September 2022 where we caught the vision, and we proceed with the vision January 2023 all through to December 2023 as Mentally Informed. We decided to step back and reflect on how best to serve in 2024, then we kickstarted January 2025 with the team, the passion and the determination to achieve our mission. We registered The Mentally Resilient Youth Network April 2025 as a Nonprofit in Nigeria & Africa pursuing the mission to increase mental health awareness through research, advocacy, community reporting, story telling and offer support through partnership with organizations and licensed practitioners.
