About

Linda Mouhamou is a management consultant who specializes in bringing business sector practices and health equity into the mental health sector. She has had many MH organizations as clients, served on the board of a crisis line, founded a mental health tech startup, runs a mental health accommodations workshop, and speaks at conferences. As a racialized person who has lived with episodic mental illness her whole life, she is dedicated to making systemic status-quo-breaking changes to the system to help youth with mental illnesses overcome related obstacles. In her spare time, you can find her checking items off of her bucket list (I?ve been skydiving), meditating, or lighting her hand on fire in the name of science.
