Actions for Mental Health in Africa

Who we are

A French non-profit association founded in 2021, ASMA brings together professionals committed to mental health in Africa.

Our history

An association born of encounters in the field, in Africa.

Governance

A committed team at the service of our partner associations.

Code of ethics

Never substituting, always respecting, always working together.

ASMApsy brings together African and European people working in mental health.
In Africa, ASMApsy supports the associations helping children and adults who face psychological difficulty and social exclusion.
ASMApsy contributes to preventing and accompanying psychological suffering, and so to social stability and a better future.

How we work

We work with associations that support children and adults in psychological difficulty. Our action rests on clinical analysis and aims to develop therapeutic approaches suited to the cultural setting, to the realities of the field and to the needs identified by local practitioners.

We hold to three things: never substituting ourselves for what exists, respecting the local setting, and working with the African teams already engaged on the ground.
