UMEED: A Path to a Better Tomorrow – Breaking the Silence on Mental Health
Mental health has long remained a shadowed topic—shrouded in stigma, silence, and misunderstanding. Recognizing this pressing need, Memon Medical Institute Hospital’s Community Health Initiative (CHI) proudly introduces UMEED: A Path to a Better Tomorrow — a transformative program that aims to empower, educate, and support individuals and communities.
The Need for UMEED
According to Gallup Pakistan:
50% of Pakistanis experience daily stress
Key sources of stress include:
- Family/domestic problems
- Financial struggles
- Job-related stress
- Health concerns
- Life transitions
- Global/natural crises
These everyday stressors often go unaddressed due to social stigma, lack of awareness, and limited access to care.
What UMEED Stands For
Following the success of MMI’s Antenatal Program, UMEED continues the mission to:
- Break stigma
- Encourage help-seeking behavior
- Integrate mental health into primary healthcare
Mission:
Empowering communities through mental health awareness, support, and resilience-building for a healthier, stigma-free future
Vision:
A thriving community where mental well-being is a priority, and everyone has access to care, compassion, and growth
