Welcome to Lagos Mind Research

At Lagos Mind Research, we are committed to understanding and addressing the mental health needs of our diverse urban and rural population. Our research focuses on the interplay between culture, environment, and mental well-being in Nigeria’s largest city, Lagos.

Our Mission

Our mission is to advance knowledge in mental health through rigorous research, community engagement, and advocacy. We aim to improve mental health outcomes by generating insights that inform policy, practice, and public awareness.
