Illness Not Weakness

At Illness Not Weakness, our mission is to break the stigma surrounding mental health and create a supportive community that empowers individuals on their mental health journey. Through open discussions, education, and advocacy, we aim to promote understanding, compassion, and acceptance for those facing mental health challenges especially those in South Asian countries.

Illness Not Weakness is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and destigmatizing mental health issues. Founded with the vision of fostering a world where mental health is openly discussed and supported, our organization strives to provide resources, education, and a safe space for individuals to share their experiences.

We believe that mental health is just as important as physical health, and we aim to empower individuals to seek help, find support, and embrace their mental health journey with courage and strength. Through our chapters across the United States, India, Pakistan, and other regions, we aim to create a global movement that fosters a culture of empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

Join us in our mission to challenge the stereotypes surrounding mental health and build a society where everyone can seek help without fear of judgment. Together, let's transform the conversation around mental health and promote a world where illness is not seen as weakness, but as an opportunity for growth and support.
