MEHAR (Mental and Emotional Health Awareness Renaissance) is a registered non-profit organization managed by passionate staff members and governed by a group of committed board members. It is an outcome of our passion for two very important aspects of our lives; Art and Mental Health.
MEHAR believes that knowledge, awareness and mindfulness are powerful tools to address issues that deeply impact our lives. Our core belief is that art is an effective medium that can deliver important information in an impactful and cathartic manner. Through various artistic performances, MEHAR accomplishes a twofold objective: nurturing the connection between art and well-being, and increasing awareness around our own wellbeing. This wellbeing is related to both our mental and emotional health, a topic that is often overshadowed and underrepresented despite its importance to humanity.
