MindCare Health Center is a non-governmental, non-profit foundation dedicated to improving mental health care in Cape Verde. Founded by highly qualified professionals from the Cape Verdean diaspora, we combine international expertise with local knowledge to strengthen communities and transform lives.

Mental Health Care with Impact in Cape Verde

Our mission is rooted in responsibility, connection, and love for our country. We aim to raise the standard of mental healthcare in Cape Verde by bringing together evidence-based clinical practices, international experience, and culturally sensitive approaches. Our work focuses on supporting individuals, families, and young people, with special attention to accessibility and sustainability.

Therapy, Training & Social Projects

MindCare Health Center connects European specialists and local mental health professionals to deliver:

• Individual and group psychological therapy

• Professional training and clinical supervision

• Community-based mental health projects

• High-impact social and educational initiatives

Through collaboration and knowledge exchange, we build long-term capacity within Cape Verde’s mental health system.

Learn Kriolu & Make a Difference

At MindCare Health Center, professionals, students, and volunteers have the unique opportunity to learn Kriolu (Cape Verdean Creole) through personalized lessons while actively contributing to meaningful mental health work. This combination of learning and service creates a deep cultural connection and a truly impactful experience.

You will experience the famous Morabeza of Cape Verde — the warmth, openness, and generosity of its people — while building lasting relationships within the local community.

Discover Cape Verde

Cape Verde is the homeland of Cesária Évora, rich in culture, music, and history. Just 4.5 hours from the Netherlands, the islands offer year-round sunshine, warm Atlantic waters, dramatic mountains, and breathtaking landscapes. Days begin with sunrise over the mountains and end with sunsets dissolving into the ocean.

A Safe and Welcoming Country in Africa

Cape Verde is widely recognized as one of the safest and most stable countries in Africa, making it an ideal environment for mental health initiatives, international collaboration, and personal growth.
