CAPITI: Autism Can Have Many Names

One significant factor that perpetuates stigma surrounding children's mental health is the pervasive lack of understanding about various conditions. Coupled with the unpredictable nature of children's behavior, mental health issues can easily be mislabeled, leading to a diminished quality of life in the long term. Furthermore, the high cost of diagnosis and treatment for such conditions puts economically disadvantaged families in an even more vulnerable position. CAPITI was established to address this need by bridging the gap between these families and clinics that can help them comprehend and manage their children's mental health.

To shed light on this pressing issue, we produced three short films, each focusing on some of the most common mental health conditions supported by CAPITI (autism, ADHD and dyslexia). Our aim is to raise awareness and encourage people to donate 0.5% of their IRS without any additional cost (a possibility within the Portuguese IRS system).
