About NeverAloneDAO

Mission

At some point in their lives, 1 in 4 people will be affected by mental illness. That can range from anxiety to depression to death by suicide. (Sadly, nearly 800,000 people lose their lives to suicide every year. That’s one person every 40 seconds.)

And Covid-19 has only made the situation worse. According to the WHO, the pandemic has caused a 25% increase in anxiety and depression on a global scale.

We believe that everybody deserves the help, support and treatment they need to live a happy, joyful and peaceful life. So we’re starting the Mental Health and Wellbeing cause to find and fund global projects that can make the world a happier, healthier and more joyful place.

Projects we’re looking to fund:

The Mental Health and Wellbeing cause wants to make the world a more sustainable, peaceful, healthier and joyful place by working together to find and fund projects that can improve mental health and wellbeing around the world.

From ambitious suicide prevention causes around the world to smaller, community-focused approaches to a happier, more joyful life to innovative tech that can help tackle the mental health crisis, we’re looking for any project that’s going to help make a real difference to the global mental health crisis.
