“Generosity is an act of giving grounded in the principles of radical kinship, solidarity, and empathy.”
Peer-Minded is a peer-to-peer online platform connecting university students in a shared learning experience. It offers self-paced mental health support training to equip students with the knowledge, techniques, and language to become self-sufficient in addressing their wellbeing needs as well as supporting others around them. Our vision is to contribute to a holistic ecosystem of mental wellbeing in the UAE and the wider region by filling existing gaps in knowledge and skills and creating healthy student experiences for all young people.
