A Minds at Peace Foundation programme

UNKAHI

ان کہی · Unsaid

The stories we were never told.

Unkahi means “unsaid”: the things families never say. UNKAHI is the foundation’s storytelling programme. It produces original films, series and podcasts on mental health, and works with a network of content creators to bring those conversations to the audiences they already reach.

Stories travel where statistics cannot.

Most people do not change how they think about mental health because of a leaflet or a statistic. They change because someone they recognise tells the truth about their own life. In communities where mental health is rarely discussed, a single honest story can give a whole family the words it was missing.

UNKAHI exists to tell those stories well, honestly and responsibly, in English, Urdu and Hindi.

For content creators.

Creators already hold the attention of the audiences we most want to reach. UNKAHI works with selected creators across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and podcasts to make mental-health content that is true to their voice and safe for their audience.

Creators in the network receive:

  • Training in responsible storytelling
  • Guidance from clinical advisers
  • Production support and shared assets
  • A role in foundation campaigns

Made responsibly.

Every UNKAHI story is made to responsible media standards, including recognised guidance on reporting suicide. We protect the dignity, privacy and wellbeing of the people who share their experiences, and every piece points audiences towards credible support.

A story told carelessly can do harm. A story told well can save a life.

Tell it with us.

Whether you have a story to share, a platform to lend or a project to commission, we would like to hear from you.
