NISAD

The National Institutes for Stress, Anxiety and Depression (NISAD) is a non-profit research collaboration bringing together scientists, researchers, psychologists, clinicians, therapists and members of the public. Working across multiple countries, the organisation focuses on behaviour change, wellbeing and preventative care, with a commitment to making mental health support clinically backed, effective, affordable and accessible. Its vision is for people of all ages to live healthier, happier lives, with emotional health valued alongside physical health.

NISAD develops programmes, games and apps designed to help people replace harmful behaviours with habits that support long-term mental and physical health. Its Milestone Suite offers support across life stages, from pre-birth through later life, with specific programmes for children. The organisation also uses story-based interventions and mindful practice to encourage lasting behaviour change. Its research spans behavioural psychology and biomedical science, including NISAD-MAP, a specialist research arm focused on body chemistries and improving clinical diagnostics.
