Positiveo was founded by a group of mental health enthusiasts to eradicate the stigmatization associated with psychological therapies and interventions in Africa. We are a start-up organization that provides 24/7 virtual counseling services to all that might require it.
OUR MISSION
We are committed to creating a platform where individuals have timely access to information, resources and year round support to improve their overall mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.
OUR APPROACH
To accomplish our stated mission, we function in the following ways:
E-Counseling: We work with volunteer mental health professionals from different African countries who have expressed their interest in supporting us to raise awareness on the importance of counseling and other psychological therapies in Africa. They are dedicated to making this service accessible and affordable to all; offering their time and expertise at no cost to our service users.
Listening Ears: We have recruited a group of volunteers skilled in the act of “listening” and providing non-professional peer support to service users who need to express their feelings and have their voices heard without judgment.
Positive Content Platform: We have created a platform geared towards promoting positive content, thereby creating a safe space for our audience; a space where they can count on non-triggering information, but also information created and sourced to help improve the mood, provide educative tips on mental health disorders, wellness, and life in general.
Community Building: It is our aim to maintain communities of likeminded individuals who are encouraged to build and manage supportive online relationships. These communities include mental health support groups, as well as forums created by members with the purpose of aiding one another to navigate life in a positive way.
