The new edition of #SAVE – Creatives for Mental Health Awareness is ongoing. The program is put together by Love, Peace and Mental Health Foundation (LPM).

LPM Foundation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to promoting mental health wellness and awareness among Nigerian youths. The organization also caters to persons affected by mental illness and disorders by providing access to mental health care and services. LPM utilizes creative avenues and alternative forms to change the perception of mental health in Nigeria and the stigma that surrounds it.

Using various forms of advocacy, LPM educates communities and families of mental health survivors about the general and basic knowledge of the importance of mental health through their platforms @ProjectGetNaked – (A photo campaign involving influentials and famous faces), MH-SPA – (Mental Health Support Groups for Persons Affected) and #SAVE.
