Works of the Mind
At Works of the Mind, we believe mental health is not a luxury; it is a basic human need, and
everyone deserves safe spaces that encourage healing, growth, understanding, and
togetherness.
Works of the Mind is a youth-led mental health social initiative founded in 2023 with the aim of
creating mental health awareness. While the initiative began in 2023, we officially started
organizing active community engagements and awareness activities in 2025.
Founded by a university female student passionate about breaking the stigma surrounding
mental health, Works of the Mind focuses on making mental wellness conversations feel more
approachable, interactive, and community-centered — especially among young people.
Through activities such as wellness picnics, reflection sessions, one-on-one conversations,
quizzes, and community meetups in Kampala, Uganda, we create a safe space where people can connect, express
themselves, and feel supported. Some physical events are organized with a small affordable
contribution fee to help facilitate the experiences and activities involved.
Beyond physical gatherings, we also run an online community that is free and open to people
from different backgrounds and parts of the world. Through weekly check-ins, reminders,
conversations, and updates about upcoming wellness activities, we aim to remind people that
mental health support and awareness should be accessible to everyone.
At Works of the Mind, we believe mental health is not a luxury; it is a basic human need, and
everyone deserves safe spaces that encourage healing, growth, understanding, and
togetherness.
