The origin of HUGs can be traced back to late 2019 when the conversation around mental health began to gain traction globally. In many countries, mental health was still stigmatized, and people were hesitant to seek help or talk about their struggles. Mental health services were often unavailable or unaffordable, leaving many individuals to cope with their challenges alone.

Recognizing the need for change, a group of youths came together to form HUGs. They identified a gap in mental health support for young people and wanted to make a difference by creating an organization that could address these issues head-on. The founding members of HUGs were passionate about mental health advocacy and wanted to create a platform where young people could feel safe and supported in discussing their mental health challenges.

The organization began by hosting events and workshops to promote mental health awareness in the community. The events were aimed at educating people about mental health, reducing stigma associated with mental health challenges, and providing support to those who were struggling. Over time, HUGs began to establish partnerships with local mental health clinics and professionals, who provided support and guidance to the organization.

Today, HUGs is a thriving organization with a strong community of supporters and volunteers. The organization continues to promote mental health awareness, provide support to those who need it, and advocate for improved mental health services. HUGs has been successful in reducing the stigma associated with mental health challenges and has helped many young people to seek the help and support they need to manage their mental health. With their ongoing efforts, HUGs is making a significant contribution to improving the well-being of young people worldwide.
