ConnectMind Network

ConnectMind Network (formerly Mental Health Drive Initiative) stands as a leading advocacy force in advancing mental health well-being through education, awareness, research, support, and referral services. Our rebranding on July 1st, 2025, celebrated seven years of dedicated impact.

200+

7+

Year on year, we have been able to support those with mental health needs in areas of awareness and education, counselling, and referral services for over seven consecutive years.

Since our inception in 2018, over 200 volunteers have joined us at different times, each deeply committed to our initiative's vision. Their diverse skills and unwavering dedication have been the backbone of our progress, allowing us to achieve significant milestones and expand our reach far beyond what would have been possible otherwise.

Structure

Following recent rebranding, ConnectMind Network's operational framework has transformed, now anchored by a dynamic steering committee. Each committee member leads a specialised working group, optimising our efficiency and strategic direction. These groups—Finance, Research, Awareness and Education, Communication, and Support and Referral—ensure comprehensive operational coverage. This new structure allows us to manage all facets of our work with greater precision and dedication.

The Finance Working Group diligently oversees all fiscal matters, safeguarding our resources and funding initiatives.

The Research Working Group is instrumental in gathering data and insights, driving evidence-based decision-making.

Through the Awareness and Education Working Group, we actively engage communities, promoting mental well-being and dispelling misconceptions.

Our Communication Working Group is responsible for crafting and disseminating our core messages, ensuring consistent and impactful public engagement.

The Support and Referral Working Group directly assists individuals by providing pathways to necessary help and resources. This structured governance allows us to address diverse challenges comprehensively and with unwavering commitment.
