Ìmọlẹ — Yorùbá for Light — is Nigeria's first voice-first mental health companion. Speak your mind in your own language. No reading required.
The reality
250 psychiatrists.
200 million people.
Over 85% of Nigerians with a mental health condition never receive help. Families watch loved ones deteriorate without knowing what's happening, what to call it, or who to call. Ìmọlẹ was built for those families.
Patient-to-psychiatrist ratio
Six things Ìmọlẹ does
Built around how Nigerian families actually live, pray, and heal.
Voice-first. Offline-capable. Designed with Nigerian mental-health professionals.
01Smart Mental Health Check
A picture-based questionnaire, fully voiced in your language. Helps you name what your loved one — or you — may be experiencing, across 18 conditions.
Learn more →
Covers depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, ADHD, postpartum, addiction, burnout and more. Each question is read aloud, with image cues so you don't need to read. Results come with a plain-language explanation — not jargon — plus a confidence score and a recommended next step.
02A Personal Action Plan
Step-by-step guidance starting with one simple action today. Points you to the nearest mental health facility in your state and helps you book a verified professional.
Learn more →
Your plan adapts to severity. For mild cases: self-help tools and weekly check-ins. For moderate: a referral to a verified counsellor within 48 hours. For severe or crisis: a live escalation route to the nearest LUTH, FNPH or state facility, plus a crisis-line warm handoff.
03Daily Support Tools
Breathing exercises, voice journaling, medication reminders, mood tracking, CBT and DBT guides — all voiced, all working offline once downloaded.
Learn more →
Box breathing and 4-7-8 with voice pacing. Voice journals you can replay instead of read. Medication reminders that work without data once set. CBT thought-records and DBT distress-tolerance cards translated and culturally adapted by Nigerian clinicians.
04Verified Professional Directory
Book sessions with Nigerian psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, doctors and counsellors. Every credential checked against MDCN and NMCN.
Learn more →
Filter by language spoken, faith-sensitivity, in-person vs telehealth, sliding-scale pricing, and specialty. Every provider's MDCN/NMCN registration number is verified before listing — no anonymous coaches, no unlicensed practitioners.
05Pastor & Imam Portal
Faith leaders get a referral dashboard to safely refer struggling families and track wellbeing anonymously — because pastors and imams are already the first point of contact.
Learn more →
Trained on the difference between spiritual distress and clinical illness. Lets a pastor or imam send a one-tap referral with consent, see anonymised follow-up status, and access short scripts for talking about mental health from a faith perspective without breaking confidentiality.
06Community & Peer Support
Moderated voice-note groups where families managing the same conditions share experiences anonymously, in their own language. Because isolation makes everything worse.
Learn more →
Groups are condition-specific (e.g. caring-for-schizophrenia, postpartum, addiction-recovery) and language-specific. Every group has a trained peer-moderator. Voice notes only — no typing required — and identities are pseudonymous by default.
