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 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
