Public Awareness Department
The Public Awareness department aims to empower people with the knowledge and skills to improve their mental health, reduce stigma against mental illness and facilitate those affected by psychological problems to seek the help they need. Taskeen pioneered digital mental health awareness campaigns in Pakistan by launching campaigns on social media and mass media. These campaigns are complemented by Pakistan’s first online mental health portal which is a repository of mental health informational resources, mental health screening tools and mental health service providers. Since October 2019, the Public Awareness Department has produced various short films, animations, documentaries, and interviews of survivors that have reached more than 40 million people across Pakistan.
