Our Story
BrainSoul
Our mission is to provide support and foster awareness and education for adolescents regarding mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, teen suicide prevention, and more.
BrainSoul is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to raise awareness about mental health in our community and provide support to those who need it. BrainSoul goes out into the community to advocate for teen mental health awareness and let every teen know that they are not alone in their mental health journey and that there is always someone out there who is willing to talk to them. BrainSoul was founded by Mujtaba Shahzad, a high school student, after he saw the increase in mental health issues and suicides across the globe. He saw that many people felt lost and hopeless, especially because they didn’t know who to reach out to or how to get better. So, he founded BrainSoul because he wanted to create a foundation for spreading mental health awareness and talking to community members to ensure that they know that they matter. BrainSoul has since grown with multiple volunteer members who work hard to spread awareness about mental health and talk about the issues that are facing our community as we all strive to get into a state of better well-being overall. 100% of all donations to BrainSoul go towards our programs. All donations are tax-deductible.
