We Are ‘Stilts’
At Stilt Mental Health Initiative, our name reflects both our identity and our mission. A stilt is a structure designed to provide balance, elevation, and stability, even on the most uneven ground. It helps people rise above obstacles and move forward with confidence.
In the same way, we exist to be a source of steady support for young Nigerians navigating life’s uncertainties. We know that mental health challenges can feel isolating, overwhelming, and destabilizing, but with the right guidance, education, and community, resilience is possible.
Through our programs, advocacy, and safe spaces, we aim to lift individuals and communities above stigma, silence, and fear—empowering them with the tools to thrive. Like a stilt, we are not the entire journey, but we are the firm support that helps people find their balance and rise stronger.
We Are Empowering Minds & Transforming Lives
At Stilt Mental Health Initiative, we’re dedicated to building mentally resilient young Nigerians aged 13-30. Through innovative mental health education, peer support, and bold advocacy, we’re reshaping perceptions, breaking stigmas, and nurturing a community where mental health thrives.
Join us in our mission to empower and educate, creating a brighter, healthier future for all.
