Amal Brings Hope Through Mental Health Support Amid Pandemic Challenges

Naila Al Moosawi launched Amal – Counselling For a Better Tomorrow to address mental health challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation began operations just 13 days after she secured the necessary permit. Its mission centres on the belief that hope can drive meaningful change in people’s lives. Amal was founded as a direct response to the mental health struggles amplified by the pandemic. Under Al Moosawi’s leadership as founder and CEO, the organisation quickly took shape and started delivering support.

The initiative offers tailored corporate wellness programs for different demographics. It serves both blue-collar and white-collar workers, providing non-prescriptive assistance to all in need. Al Moosawi finds the greatest reward in seeing the real difference these services make in people’s lives.

Amal also prioritises staying current with clinical and therapeutic best practices. Its counselors and programs regularly update to reflect the latest advancements in the field. Looking ahead, the organisation plans to expand into hardship areas such as Kashmir and Sri Lanka, as well as internationally to countries like Australia. Al Moosawi recognises the growing demand for mental wellness support, both locally and worldwide. She notes that the Arab world still has progress to make in reducing the stigma around mental health. Amal’s work continues to address these gaps through accessible and adaptable services.
