UNIMED MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCE (INC)

RESTORING BROKEN LIVES

UNIMED Mental Health Resource (Inc) was founded on the backdrop of a true story that mental health is a disease, that it is real and does not discriminate. The organization was named after a young man whose dreams of becoming a mechanical engineer was shattered by mental illness. The organization later became UNIMED in 2023 after the passing of her second son. We treat individuals with mental illnesses through medication, therapy and skills training.
