Power of community in maintaining mental well-being.
About us
Chop & Chat is a community-driven mental health organization based in Nigeria, dedicated to providing accessible and affordable support through group therapy, counseling, webinars, and interactive events.Â
Our Mission Statement
At Chop & Chat, we believe that mental wellness thrives in the presence of the appropriate community. Our mission is to provide judgment-free spaces where individuals from all walks of life can engage in meaningful discussions, receive mental health support, and find healing—one conversation and one shared meal at a time.
GET INVOLVED
Core Values
We believe that true community isn’t accidental—it’s intentional. It’s built on pillars that ensure everyone feels welcomed, valued, and seen. These pillars—sustainability, affordability, accessibility, and participation—form the foundation of how we gather, connect, and grow together.
Intentionality
We show up—fully, presently, and open to connection. Whether it’s a shared laugh, a thoughtful pause, or a deep conversation, every Chop & Chat experience is curated with care. From how we arrange our seating to how conversations unfold, we are deliberate in creating a space that encourages vulnerability, understanding, and joy. We don’t meet to impress—we meet to be real. Not to escape—but to be seen.
Participation & Sustainability
We know that staying relevant means staying responsive. We listen. We adapt. And we grow—together. Our programs evolve with the changing needs of our community, ensuring we’re not only keeping up, but continually meeting people where they are. This sustainability is powered by participation. Everyone has a role, and every voice matters.
Affordability & Accessibility
Mental health support should never be a luxury. That’s why we commit to making Chop & Chat affordable and accessible to all—across social, cultural, and religious lines. No matter your background, you deserve a space to feel at ease, to connect, and to heal. What unites us is simple and powerful: the human need to be seen, heard, and held
Programs and Services
At Chop & Chat, we create safe, engaging, and stigma-free spaces for mental health conversations. Through a mix of in-person and virtual sessions, we foster connections that support well-being and personal growth.
Every quarter, we host in-person meetups where participants connect through art, food, and conversation—the essence of Chop & Chat. These gatherings provide a warm and open environment to share experiences and discuss mental health in a judgment-free space. Join us in Lagos, Ibadan, or Abuja, Nigeria.
For those unable to attend in-person, we offer virtual sessions that maintain the same culture of openness, connection, and support. These online meetups ensure that distance is never a barrier to meaningful mental health discussions.
Need someone to talk to? Our peer counseling program offers free, confidential support from trained volunteers who provide a listening ear and guidance. Whether through voice or chat, we’re here to help you navigate your mental health journey.
