Around 1 in 7 people globally have at least one mental health condition. Despite progress being made, the stigma, discrimination and abuse people with these conditions face continues. As a result, mental illness continues to be underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in youth.
We seek to change this situation by breaking the stigma around mental illness, and opening conversations about mental health with the engagement of youth volunteers across the world. With focus on awareness, education, and distribution of resources, we aim to emphasize the importance of taking care of one's mental health.

Hi! My name is Samyukth, and I am the Chief Executive Officer & co-founder of Commit to Break the Stigma. The topic of mental health is significant to me. I've dealt with mental health issues personally and see it being neglected in the community. I hope to spread awareness and inspire others to shatter the stigma associated with it.
I like to sing and volunteer in my local community in my free time. I’m looking forward to working with my team to take on new endeavors to de-stigmatize mental health issues globally!
