Good Karma connects licensed and trained psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, speech therapists, counselors, and wellness experts with people who need free mental health support. Give as little as an hour a week. Change a life.
Sign Up to Volunteer →Why This Matters
Access to mental health support in Pakistan is limited, expensive, and often stigmatized — especially outside major cities. Every week, people across Karachi and Pakistan take Good Karma's free mental health screenings looking for depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other support, and many have nowhere affordable to turn next. That's the gap our volunteer network exists to close.
Real, unmet need
Dozens of people have already used Good Karma's free screenings looking for someone to talk to.
Free for everyone
No one pays — not the volunteer, not the person being helped. Ever.
Karachi & beyond
We match volunteers with people across Karachi and the rest of Pakistan, in person or online.
