Our Story
Creating safe spaces for mental health healing since 2023
Who We Are
Serenity of
Serenity of Soul (SOS) is a youth-led, trauma-informed mental health and healing initiative based in Kenya. Founded by Suad Abdulnassir, SOS was born out of lived experiences and a deep desire to address the silent mental health struggles faced by young people—especially those from underserved, low-income, and vulnerable communities.
We create safe, inclusive, and creative spaces for healing through programs rooted in empathy, education, mentorship, and cultural sensitivity. Our goal is to build a mentally healthy generation that is empowered to express, heal, and lead.

Mental Health Literacy Workshops
Held in schools, colleges, and youth hubs to teach about mental health, stress management, and help-seeking behavior. We equip young people with essential knowledge and coping strategies.
Healing Circles
Safe, peer-led group sessions that allow youth to share, reflect, and process trauma using storytelling and grounding techniques in a confidential environment.
Youth Mentorship
One-on-one or group mentorship supporting emotional growth, confidence-building, and personal development with trained mental health advocates.
Creative Expression Spaces
Safe rooms where youth express emotions through art, therapeutic games, writing, or music. Creative outlets for emotional release and self-discovery.
Psychoeducation Campaigns
Social media awareness, blogs, and forums that normalize mental health conversations and reduce stigma in our communities.
Community Outreach
Engagement with parents, teachers, and leaders to build mental health awareness and create supportive environments for young people.
