Arts engage emotions and help us on our mental
Health journeys, promote and increase
Awareness in our communities
Asiri Health Arts started as a fellowship project at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
exploring evidence-based interventions intended on informing and educating about mental health to
non-clinical audiences through community-based experiences. Now we are transitioning to
incorporate it as an organization that support communities around the US and worldwide.
We do not wait for creativity to strike, we create intentional AHA moments!

Our Why
Mental health is a global public health issue shaped by various determinants operating at individual, family, community, and societal levels. A deeper understanding of the pathways that affect psychological well-being is essential to advance holistic wellness that create resilient and thriving communities.
Artistic expression has long played an integral role in humanity, uniquely suited to help us understand, communicate, and empathize creatively.
We create educational spaces for prevention and promotion of mental health, educating and open up the conversation is at the center for reducing stigma and promoting access to resources. Our initiative aim to enhance and improve existing healthcare support systems.
At Asiri Health Arts, we create learning experiences through an inclusive and participatory framework that embrace innovation, critical thinking, art expression, community-based learning and asking questions.
Our learning experience is based on an evidence-based framework which is part of a Harvard University initiative.
The experience is curated through participatory citizenship welcoming everyone and promoting inclusiveness. Here everyone’s voice is heard and everyone is encouraged to speak up without fear of judgment or stigma.
