ABOUT US

The Healthy Mind Foundation is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals and communities through accessible health education. We believe that knowledge is the foundation of better choices and better health.

Founded in 2024 by Dr. Mitra Maharaj, an Occupational Medicine Physician, and his wife Mrs. Mala Moonilal-Maharaj, a Pharmacist, the Foundation was born out of their shared passion for genuinely helping people live healthier, fuller lives.

Our mission is simple: to raise awareness, encourage healthier lifestyles, and improve overall well-being across Trinidad and Tobago. By partnering with schools, workplaces, religious institutions, and community groups, we bring health information directly to the people who need it most.

From school talks and workplace lectures to health fairs and voluntary blood drives, we create opportunities for learning, conversation, and positive change. We focus on prevention, awareness, and empowerment because your health is your wealth.

At the heart of our work is a vision of a well-informed society where every individual has the knowledge and confidence to make health-conscious decisions. Guided by our core values we are committed to building a happier and healthier future for all.

Our Core Values

  • We believe that access to accurate, reliable health information is the first step toward making informed choices. By breaking down complex medical concepts into simple, relatable terms, we give individuals and communities the power to take charge of their health.

  • Education is at the heart of everything we do. Through school talks, workplace sessions, and community outreach, we equip people with the tools, resources, and confidence to adopt healthier lifestyles and advocate for their own well-being.

  • Good health is the foundation of a fulfilling life. We encourage people to see health not as an afterthought, but as their greatest asset—something to be valued, protected, and nurtured every day.

  • We emphasize proactive measures to reduce the risk of disease and illness. By promoting lifestyle changes, early screening, and awareness, we aim to prevent health issues before they arise—saving lives, reducing costs, and improving quality of life for all.
