In the winter of 2021, we started bringing mental health workshops to high schools around the country. To have a bigger reach, we need teachers to collaborate with, who can facilitate the organisation of our workshops during their classes. Do you want us to come to your school?

Interview with Maria Pascale, founder of Mental Health for Romania
With only 4 years of activity and a young team, we have so far worked to increase our visibility and fill some gaps that we considered strategic, with very limited resources. However, much remains to be done and we have hopes for much bigger projects in the future.
