Taskeen

Community Department

Introduction

The Community Department aims to help participants learn about mental health, reduce the stigma against seeking help for mental illness and empower them with the knowledge, skills, and support to improve their wellbeing. This was one of the first programs of Taskeen in its initial years but had to be shut down because of the COVID pandemic, with it being relaunched by the organization in January 2024. Departmental activities consist of community-based interventions focusing on life skills development and resilience building, mental health screening and referral to mental health services.

What we do?

PEACE: Mental Health Integration Program

Pakistan’s low-income and underserved communities often face major barriers to mental health care—poverty, stigma, and lack of access. Through the PEACE program, Taskeen works at the grassroots level to turn everyday community spaces into hubs for mental health support. By meeting people where they are, PEACE aims to make care accessible, reduce stigma, and build stronger, more resilient communities.

WINGS: School Wellbeing Program

Schools play a key role in shaping young minds—but they often lack the tools to support students’ mental health. Taskeen’s School Wellbeing Program works to close this gap by equipping schools with practical knowledge, training, and resources. The goal is to build a lasting, community-based system where students, teachers, and parents can understand, talk about, and care for mental wellbeing—together.

Taskeen Wellbeing Program

Taskeen offers free, one-time wellbeing sessions to organizations as a gesture of goodwill and connection. These sessions help raise awareness, spark conversation, and promote a deeper understanding of mental health. By engaging different groups, we aim to build a more informed, supportive society—where mental wellbeing is seen as essential and valued by all.
