Welcome to the Mental Wellness Initiative
Positioning Mental Wellness at the Core of Thriving Societies
Our approach to mental wellness incorporates responses at all strata of society and includes short-term crisis responses as well as driving long-term systemic change initiatives.
Our Story
The Mental Wellness Initiative (MWI) was founded in April 2020, in response to Covid-19’s impact on South Africa during the first wave of the pandemic. Several organisations that service the mental health and wellness space, came together to respond to the need. These organisations became the founding members of Mental Wellness Initiative. These include Ellipse Institute for Social Impact, Centre of the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, Thinklink, Camber Coaching and Dinaledi Coaching.
