Matthew Dickson, a mental health advocate and speaker helps people with mental illness in developing countries get access to basic mental health care through his Mind Aid platform. Mind Aid acts as a hub that steers people towards organizations working for the cause. It’s the world's first website with all the organizations working on the cause on one site (they are otherwise scattered across the web). These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable.

 

Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, as well as Robin Williams's son, Zak Williams, and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics. Matthew has successfully recovered from schizophrenia and has bicycled across Canada.
