About Harmony

Harmony Mental Wellness Solutions seeks to maximise the mental wellbeing of society through good mental health. Mental Health is a state of well-being in which the individual “realises his or her own abilities, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to contribute to his or her community”

1. This means mental health is not simply the absence of mental diseases. The implication is that anything that prevents one from working productively (e.g. a domestic conflict at home or financial challenges that occupy one’s mind) is a mental health issue. Mental health is therefore an essential component of social cohesion, productivity, peace and stability in the living environment, contributing to social capital and economic development in societies 1.
