Who We Are

The Asido Foundation is a nonprofit mental health advocacy organisation with the aim of providing evidence-based information, specially tailored advocacy efforts as well as interventions; with the long-term view of contributing towards filling the huge mental health needs of the Nigerian populace.

Our Core Values

We believe in a Nigeria where there is dignity and respect for human rights, equity and social justice, scientific evidence, respect for culture and religion, accountability, integration, and service user empowerment.

Our Vision

The Asido Foundation envisions a Nigerian society in which all persons will enjoy optimal mental health regardless of age, gender, socio-economic status, religious creed or ethnicity.

Our Misson

Our mission is to promote mental health advocacy and reforms with a view to improving awareness, reducing stigma and discrimination and empowering persons with mental disorders and their families.

Our Vision

The Asido Foundation centers its impact on people, using awareness, support, and empowerment initiatives to drive mental health resilience and systems change across communities.

Mental health issues are poorly understood, shamed and stigmatized. On account of these, far too many citizens, and their families simply suffer in silence. Our focus at the Asido Foundation is to promote open and unashamed conversations around mental health, and to ensure that everyone that is affected, is able to get the quality care they deserve. There is no health without mental health.
