NGO Alternativa

Alternativa is a non-governmental (NGO), non-profit (NPO) and non-political association of citizens who, with their activity contribute to the support, development and improvement of the organization and functioning of individual, partnership, parental, family, school, health , social, business and other human systems in the community and beyond.

At our NGO / NPO, we recognize the importance of mental health in overall well-being and the importance of early intervention and prevention. Our association focuses on more successful promotion and care for the mental health of children, adolescents and adults, prevention of violent behavior, protection of the rights of individuals and marginalized, stigmatized, and discriminated groups on ethnic, cultural, religious, social and gender grounds and/ or sexual orientation and for the promotion of education and research based on systemic theory and practice.

Through our national projects, we work closely with local communities, organizations, and stakeholders to address specific mental health needs and challenges in the country. These initiatives aim to provide accessible resources, support systems and educational opportunities to individuals and families in need.

At a regional level, we collaborate with neighboring communities and organizations from the Wester Balkans and beyond – low and medium income countries of the Global South – to share best practice, exchange knowledge, and implement joint initiatives that promote mental health and well-being. By working together, we can create a wider impact and reach more individuals and families in the region.

In addition, our NGO is actively engaged in international projects, collaborating with organizations and associations around the world, such as WHO (World Health Organization), UNICEF, PLH (Parenting for Lifelong Health), LEGO Foundation – Learning Though play, to contribute to the global mental health landscape. Through these collaborations, we aim to share expertise, advocate for mental health rights and drive change internationally.

We firmly believe that education and prevention are powerful tools for improving mental health outcomes. Our NGO association is dedicated to developing and implementing evidence-based programs, workshops and campaigns that equip individuals, children and families with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain positive mental well-being. The NGO Alternativa has implemented many activities and several projects in close cooperation with Institute Alternativa, the Psychological Center Alternativa and the local community.
