Women will be opened to many new perspectives so that they can make better choices in solving their own problems in the family. Psychological treatment will no longer be an expensive luxury and all women will get mental health care.

Finally, we hope that the positive effects of this project will contribute to the impact on society's awareness of mental health. Mental health requires prompt care and treatment. We hope that the State considers including mental health in one of the categories entitled to the healthcare program, health insurance - social insurance regime.

Big picture mental health in vietnam

15 millions

Vietnamese people with mental issues, Women make up TWICE as much as men

"71% do not have access to appropriate mental health services (only 29% of people with mental disorders and about a third of those with depression receive mental health support)"

51%

Vietnameses women in depression

90%

Vietnamese women choose to suffer silently and not seek help

63%

Vietnamese women have experienced one or more forms of physical, sexual, emotional and economic violence and controlling behaviours by their husbands in their lifetime.

Mental health is still not familiar with Vietnameses, they don't have a habit to seek for help, they tend to ignore their problems or hide it.
Psychology consultation is still new in Vietnam and the treatment cost is expensive compared to the income of Vietnameses.
According to WHO 2015, % psychologist per 100000 population is 0,03
Treatment usually only involves medications, while other methods like counseling or psychotherapy have not been adequately developed.
