A Space for Every Mind
The Well-being and Psychological Research Foundation (WPRF) is a Section 8 non-profit organization committed to transforming the way mental health is approached, understood, and delivered.
Founded on the belief that mental health is a right, not a privilege, we work to eliminate the barriers—stigma, silence, and cost—that often stand between individuals and the support they need. WPRF is where care meets compassion, and where research fuels meaningful change.
Through our three key initiatives—Mental Health Clinic, Research & Training Institute, and Journal Publications—we provide accessible care, generate new knowledge, and share it with the world.
Our Mission
To promote emotional well-being through barrier-free care, innovative research, and psychological education—creating lasting impact for individuals and society.
Our Vision
A world where mental health is universally recognized, respected, and nurtured—without stigma or shame.
Our Philosophy
We believe:
Everyone’s emotional story deserves to be heard and validated.
Mental health care should be accessible, empathetic, and science-based.
Each life we touch is a ripple toward a healthier, more compassionate society.
Founders’ Messages
Naseem Ahmad
Founder & Director, Clinical Psychologist
“Mental health isn’t a privilege—it’s a right.”
WPRF was created from my belief that true care begins with listening—deeply, compassionately, and without judgment. Too many people suffer in silence, and I wanted to build a place where people could show up exactly as they are—and still feel safe, supported, and valued.
Whether it’s in therapy, through outreach, or within a research paper, everything we do at WPRF is guided by one goal: healing with empathy and integrity. This is more than an organization—it’s a movement. And I invite you to be part of it.

“Empathy and evidence go hand in hand.”
As a psychologist and academic, I’ve always seen the need to connect the world of research with real-life healing. That’s what WPRF does. We take knowledge beyond the classroom and make it useful for communities, therapists, and individuals.
Here, we train the next generation, support clinical professionals, and publish work that challenges mental health stigma. I’m proud to be part of an organization where science uplifts lives and where care is both personal and powerful.
