What We Do
Our Activities
Friends 2Lean On Global Foundation is a non-governmental organization (NGO) that provides mental health advocacy, education, and wellness interventions across Nigeria and beyond.
Our work is centered on education, empowerment, and emotional healing through the following initiatives:
Mental Health Education & Advocacy
We design and deliver interactive workshops, seminars, and training sessions that equip individuals and communities with practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm in healthy, sustainable ways. Our programs combine evidence-based mental wellness strategies with real-life coping techniques that participants can apply immediately.
Through guided discussions, hands-on activities, and supportive facilitation, we help individuals build emotional resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and develop healthier responses to life’s challenges—within safe, inclusive spaces for individuals, schools, workplaces, and community groups.
Training & Capacity Building
We equip individuals and organizations with practical mental health skills through structured training, workshops, and capacity-building programs that strengthen resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.
We offer professional training in:
Mental Health First Aid
Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace
Stress and Anger Management
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
Art and Dance Therapy
Workplace Wellness Programs
Community Wellness Initiatives
We design inclusive programs that bring communities together to promote mental, emotional, and social well-being. Through outreach activities, group sessions, and awareness campaigns, we create safe spaces for connection, learning, and healing.
Our initiatives encourage open conversations, reduce stigma around mental health, and empower individuals to support one another. By fostering collective care, we help communities build resilience, empathy, and lasting emotional strength.
Corporate Wellness Programs
We provide tailored wellness programs designed to support employee mental health, reduce workplace stress, and improve overall productivity. Our sessions equip organizations with practical tools to foster healthier work environments and emotionally resilient teams.
Through workshops, trainings, and wellness initiatives, we help employees build coping skills, improve work-life balance, and strengthen emotional intelligence—creating workplaces where people feel supported, motivated, and able to perform at their best.
Skill Acquisition & Empowerment Programs for Women
We believe economic stability is essential to emotional well-being, especially for women facing social or financial challenges. Our programs equip women with practical, income-generating skills that promote confidence and independence.
By combining skill acquisition with emotional support, we help women transition from vulnerability to self-sufficiency, empowering them to build sustainable livelihoods and healthier futures for themselves and their families.
Charity and Outreach
Our Community Food Outreach programs serve as a vital lifeline, providing essential food items and household provisions to families facing extreme financial hardship.
We believe that providing a meal is the first step in restoring dignity. Our outreaches go beyond simple distribution; they are a demonstration of solidarity with vulnerable groups, by stabilizing a family’s most basic needs, we create the mental and physical space required for them to engage in our empowerment and skill-building programs. For us, a bag of provisions is more than just food it is a message of hope that says, “You Are not alone.
