Matthew Dickson helps people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to basic mental health care at Mind Aid.

Mind Aid is the world's first website with all the organizations working on mental health in developing countries on one site (they are otherwise scattered across the web).

These organizations use models of basic mental health care that are low-cost, proven effective, and scalable.

Some of these organizations have been endorsed by Bill Clinton, Forest Whitaker, Arcade Fire, Ashley Judd, as well as Zak Williams (son of Robin Williams) and Tim Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics.

Matthew has successfully recovered from schizophrenia and has bicycled across Canada twice.

He has many mental health tips he shares with others.

He also created www.DonateIndigenous.ca listing the indigenous charities in Canada so people can know where to donate to offer their help and support.

Matthew Dickson helps people with mental illness in developing countries so they can get access to basic mental health care at Mind Aid.

Mind Aid is the world's first website with all the organizations working on mental health in developing countries on one site (they are otherwise scattered across the web).

People can donate to the organizations listed on the Mind Aid website directly on the organizations' websites; Mind Aid doesn't typically accept donations on their behalf, but makes people aware of the organizations so they can donate to them.

People are welcome to pay my living expenses (at https://www.patreon.com/MindAid or https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MindAid1) so I can speak about this cause for free, most often as a guest on podcasts.

I can get on podcasts quite easily, and the largest podcasts I spoke on had 1.6 million monthly listeners and 495 million monthly listeners.

I also speak in person and virtually at other events.
