Angle Psy: When art stands up for mental health
Angle Psy is a non-profit artistic and film production organization that uses creativity to raise awareness among young peoples (ages 16 to 30) about the often-ignored realities of rape culture and mental health.
About our non-profit organization
Who we are
Co-founded in 2020 by Nicolas, Roxanne, and Charlène, Angle Psy was born from one observation: institutional responses remain insufficient when it comes to addressing young people’s psychological distress and the systemic violence rooted in rape culture.
So, we decided to take action using our tools: art, speech, and community. We believe that by creating powerful and accessible works, we can raise awareness, prevent trauma, and open an inclusive space for dialogue for generations to come.
Angle Psy is also a community of volunteers,artists and allies who help amplify our mission.
