Dragonfly Mental Health is a globally operating non-profit organization, formed by academics for academics. Made up of a wide range of scientists, researchers, students and faculty from all over the world, we have come to realize how common our struggles are in the academic environment and that aspects of academia itself unnecessarily contribute to and sustain unhealthy conditions.

We love our academic pursuits, and we want to take care of ourselves and enjoy our lives at the same time. We have formed this organization, powered by volunteers operating with a horizontal hierarchy, to bring together academics from all over the world to support each other and create lasting and systemic change.

We are:

Global - academia is inherently international and so are we.
Inclusive - graduate and professional students, postdoctoral fellows, residents, faculty, staff and administrators alike all deserve excellent mental health.
Multidisciplinary - science, humanities, arts and professional post-baccalaureate education each have unique needs, yet also benefit from universal principles applied to mental health efforts.

You are invited to join us to celebrate 4 years of action and positive outcomes!

Please come to our birthday party fundraiser and learn more about the incredible change we've already made and hear about exciting future efforts in the works.

Be part of this change!

Whether you can give $25 or $25,000, every contribution helps us reach more academics, improve our understanding of how to create change, and catalyze the cultural revolution needed to transform our academic institutions into a space where brilliant and creative minds thrive!
