Our Story
MENAwell was created in response to a persistent gap: MENA communities are often underrepresented, misunderstood, or entirely overlooked in mainstream mental health spaces.
While mental health needs are universal, the ways we experience stress, healing, family dynamics, faith, identity, and trauma are deeply shaped by culture. Too often, care is offered without that context.
MENAwell exists to center that context, start the conversations, and build pathways to care that feeling affirming, respectful, and relevant to the many cultures and faiths within the MENA community.
Our Mission
To support mental health, holistic health, and emotional well-being in Middle Eastern and North African communities through culturally responsive care, education, and connection.
Our Vision
A future where MENA individuals and families can easily and consistently access mental health support, without stigma, shame, or cultural erasure, and where wellness is discussed openly and compassionately within the MENA community.
