Goal
4 x 48 Mental Health Smasher is going to change the views of mental health in Indonesia!
In a country of over 280 million people there stands out 1 startling statistic; there is only 1 psychiatrist per 300,000 people!
Mental health in Indonesia is a taboo subject and the terminology or language falls short of even identifying such a subject. There is literally no translation for “mental health” in Indonesia. Millions of resident’s face challenges of depression, anxiety and other mental illness and have no idea what’s happening. They have no ability to reach professional help and a lack of understanding.
Wanderlust fitness Village, Bali Bersama Bisa and Shuffle and Strides are out to change this! Please help them!
Two organizations on the ground are fighting to make a change! Bali Bersama Bisa, a 10 NGO collaborative heading up the LISA (Love Inside Suicide Awareness) suicide prevention hotline is creating giant waves of change in the mental health sector (In Indonesia) through their dedication of professional treatments, counseling and aftercare for those in need!
Your donations help relaunch LISA SUICIDE prevention Hotline!
Lisa suicide prevention hotline received a high volume of calls since its opening, but with multiple viral videos across the country the hotline was drowned in calls and crisis situations to the point of closure. The hotline operated from two cell phones averaging 3000+ calls a day and was forced to close to get a systematic approach where volunteers and trained professionals can take calls from across Indonesia and the planet. The hotline is currently under construction and scheduled for relaunch later in 2023.
Shuffle and Strides brought into Indonesia its first ever mental health awareness training course that is being peer reviewed by the psychiatric association of Indonesia and upon approval will be launched across the country, educating thousands and impacting millions.
Shuffle and Strides, a prevention and maintenance mental health organization focusing on the human-to-human connection and being honest with a simple question “Are you Okay”? The S & S team believe that a problem shared is a problem cut in half and by bringing people together many “crisis” situations can be avoided. Shuffle and Strides works with professional counselors, facilities and organizations for those who are “not okay”.
Aid in breaking the Stigma around Mental Health in Indonesia!
Bali Bersama Bisa launched the FIRST ever non-for-profit Mental Health Facility in Indonesia this last July thanks to the 4 x 48 mental health smasher and other contributors in 2021 and 2022! The facility currently operates specialized support groups, community gatherings and professional assistance for those who face crisis situations. The facility is outfitted with 10 beds and all the furniture’s to start providing full inpatient rehabilitation for those in need, however, Bali Bersama Bisa needs your support to provide these services. Personnel, foods, medicines, and other needs require funds and they seriously need your help to get the next phase off the ground!
