About us

Welcome to Azu-Eri Mental Health Advocacy Foundation, a Non Governmental Organisation that is dedicated to creating awareness on the impact of parenting on mental health. Through advocacy and education, our Foundation highlights the effects of abuse, as well as the stigma associated with speaking out. In addressing the impact of toxic parenting and its direct negative effects, we unsilence the silenced and inspire conversations.

We create safe spaces for victims of abuse, with a defined goal of empowering both the young and old to break negative cycles. You are the reason why we are inspired to do what we do, because we genuinely care and believe in the truest version of your inner strength. So let's join the honest conversations that reminds and guides us to not only discovering unparalleled peace but to DISCOVERING SELF-WORTH.
