Grófin Geðrækt is a free-of-charge mental health resource for individuals fom 18 years of age at any stage of their recovery journey. We strive to help them increase their level of activity, meet new people and work on their recovery on a peer-to-peer basis. Grófin's goals include creating opportunities for individuals dealing with mental health issues to work on their own recovery on their own terms as well as creating a platform for all who want to work on societal issues regarding mental health, whether they be users, professionals, loved ones, or simply people interested in mental health. We help individuals boost their quality of life through participation. We also aim to educate our society through out-reach and prevention programs in order to increase the public's understanding and fight prejudice regarding those who deal with mental health challenges. 

Grófin was founded as a grassroot organization in 2013 in order to meet the need for resources based on peer support. We are the only NGO in northern Iceland who work with people dealing with mental health challenges in this way. We have created a beautiful recovery oriented society in Grófin, and we employ both professionals and people with lived experiences as well as having volunteers and participants that have various roles. 

With your support we aim to further develope our organization!
