My best friend Fear
My closest friend’s name is Fear. We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember. I know her well but she knows me even better than I know myself.
Omena is a youth-led initiative, promoting mental health by educating people about emotional abuse and red flags in relationships to break the cycle of emotional abuse globally, starting in Rhode Island and Madagascar.
We aim to break the cycle of emotional abuse through our mental health prevention training, after-school sessions, and support groups for emotional abuse victims.
We are always looking for volunteers ready to advocate and stand up against emotional abuse. Virtual and in-person positions are available now.
Omena has partnered with 15 schools in Madagascar through our peer education program.
With over 50,000 followers in our first year, Omena continues to grow and educate people on emotional abuse
Over 200 global ambassadors help on our mission to break the cycle of emotional abuse
100% participants in our program have displayed an increased understanding of healthy relationships.
Over 60 workshops on emotional abuse, mental health prevention, emotional literacy, and healthy relationships were conducted

My closest friend’s name is Fear. We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember. I know her well but she knows me even better than I know myself.

One’s loved ones are the receiver of one’s care, value, commitment, and attachment style.

Satia is an 18-year-old girl who decides today to share with Omena her personal experiences on all types of psychological violence.
