Mental Health Awareness Summit
On October 10, 2025, the world observed World Mental Health Day. To mark this significant day, JAALS Foundation was a proud sponsor of the Awakening Minds summit organized by the Mindsplace Initiative, led by Ms. Eniola Bello and her dedicated team.
With the theme Awakening Minds: Access, Awareness, and Action, our Director, Dr. Tolu Aderemi, delivered a keynote address on the intersection of mental health, legislation, and human rights.
The JAALS Foundation team, led by Country Representative Mr. Kelvin Ekoro, actively engaged attendees at the JAALS booth, addressing inquiries and raising awareness about our various initiatives, including expanding mental health awareness to correctional centers. Currently, JAALS Foundation donates relief and wellness items to correctional facilities on a monthly basis. In 2025, we aim to partner with initiatives like Mindsplace to bring mental health awareness programs to these centers, fostering a sense of belonging and supporting inmates' reintegration into society, starting with their mental well-being.
Mental health is everyone’s business.
