Mental Health Foundation
ArtNovaX is more than a foundation — it's a movement. A first-of-its-kind in Africa, we fuse art, research, and technology to unlock new frontiers in youth mental health.
ArtNovaX Mental Health Foundation was born from the belief that Africa deserves bold, localized, and innovative approaches to mental health. We are youth-led, female-founded, and rooted in lived experience. We use art therapy not as a side tool, but as a central force in healing. Our mission? To make mental wellbeing accessible, expressive, and driven by technology. From hosting painting sessions to building digital solutions, we aim to make a lasting impact in schools, communities, and clinical spaces across the continent.
To revolutionize mental healthcare by integrating art therapy, technology, and research into creative, accessible, and evidence-based solutions – empowering youth and communities to heal, grow, and thrive.
To become Africa’s leading innovation hub for art-based mental health solutions — where art, science, and technology converge to transform how the world understands and experiences healing.
We’re on a mission to transform mental wellness across Africa. Here’s how we’re doing it:
Advancing art therapy as a trusted, evidence-based mental health solution.
Creating inclusive spaces where creativity sparks healing and open dialogue.
Reaching underserved youth through art-based programs and mental health campaigns.
Building digital tools that bring art therapy into everyday lives.
Training creatives and therapists to lead Africa’s healing movement.
Generating data to validate, innovate, and influence mental health policy.
Scaling our impact across Africa through partnerships and regional hubs.
ArtNovaX is redefining what healing looks like in Africa. We're not just raising awareness — we're building a system. We combine ancient forms of expression with cutting-edge digital tools to make therapy accessible, engaging, and effective. Our foundation is led by young people with lived experience, powered by a belief in community, and driven by a bold commitment to innovation. Here, art is science, tech is therapy, and healing is a collective revolution.
