About CapacityVietnam
CapacityVietnam is an international partnering organization increasing awareness of mental health issues, reducing stigma and improving community inclusion while supporting recovery.
Our Mission
‘a vision for better mental heath’
By creating a vibrant community of mental health support we believe social, family and workplace cultures can be strengthened and become more inclusive communities.
People recovering from mental health challenges can find independence and dignity through building their goals, resilience, capacity and job skills.
Our Story
CapacityVietnam was incorporated on June 3, 2018, with seed capital from the two owners and One Day Funding, as well as several individual donors. After 9 years of working in the mental health sector in Hanoi and having seen first hand the devastation that mental illness has created, the time is right to start a recovery community and address the misunderstandings around mental health issues. Our desire is to transform the perceptions of mental health in Vietnam by challenging the community to see people with mental illness as human beings, and not a diagnosis.
Our mandate is “recovered lives” and CapacityVietnam believe severe resource limitations, economic and social inequities can be addressed with clients lives and communities transitioned from adversity to hope and opportunit.
