Putting people at the heart of our mission
Cry Of Hope was born of a simple but alarming observation: although mental disorders affect a large number of people, they are all too often misunderstood, stigmatized and even ignored. This silence about mental health prevents many people from seeking help, and further isolates them.
At Cry Of Hope, we’re working to break this silence. We accompany people on their journey, offering them psychological, social and practical support. We also raise awareness among their families, as they play a central role in their recovery, and we work to promote a more inclusive society, where mental disorders are no longer a barrier, but an understood and respected reality.
Our work is based on four fundamental pillars:
Integration for all
Accepting each person's differences
Personalized support
Provide safe spaces where people can express themselves and receive the support they need.
Raising awareness
Organize campaigns and events to educate the public and deconstruct prejudices about mental health.
Working together
Working hand in hand with healthcare professionals, institutions and other associations to maximize our impact.
Our mission is ambitious, but it is also profoundly human. Thanks to the dedication of our team and the support of our partners and volunteers, we will be able to help those who are suffering and provide relief to their families. However, there is still so much to do.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can create a world where mental health is a priority for all, where everyone can recover, rebuild and live life to the full.
