Our story
Who we are
In this context, De-Mentes was founded in 2016 as a youth-led, women-led nonprofit organization that sought to create spaces for more people to talk about mental health. Over time, its mission and scope have expanded.
Today, we are an organization dedicated to mental health promotion, prevention and advocacy in Peru and Latin America, from a comprehensive, community-based, and #StigmaFree approach
To build #StigmaFree communities towards mental health, in Peru and across the world.
Inclusive, empathetic, and resilient communities that position mental health as a priority in Peru and across Latin America.
Passion for our purpose: to build a Peru and a world where mental health is free from stigma.
We champion bold and innovative approaches that address mental health challenges holistically, through community-based and intersectional perspectives.
We strive to ensure that every voice is heard and valued, especially those of people with lived mental health experiences.
We believe meaningful and sustainable social transformation can only be achieved by working together with communities, institutions, and partners across sectors.
We are committed to promoting wellbeing and mental health in communities facing vulnerability and exclusion.
