A world where addiction and mental health challenges are met with compassion, free from stigma, and where healing, growth, and belonging are embraced by all.
To provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive community space in Bali offering free support services, professional help, peer support, education, and meaningful activities that empower individuals and marginalised communities to feel heard, connected, supported, and inspired toward a better tomorrow.
Mental health support in Bali is critically underfunded. Our waitlist is six weeks long. People are suffering right now. The BBB Community Model 2026 changes that — and we need your help to make it happen.
Fill in the form below — tell us how you can help, what you can offer, and how much time you can give. We'll be in touch within 24 hours.
Three days a week — Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — the doors open and the community comes in. Come for one session or stay the whole day. Just show up — Indonesian & English speakers welcome.
NA Meeting · GA Meeting · Women's Support Group · Men's Circle Group · rotating weekly — open to all
Open to everyone — Indonesian & English speakers welcome. No referral, no registration. Just show up.
At Bali Bersama Bisa, everyone is welcome to come in, connect, have a tea or coffee, and speak with a professional. As we are not an acute crisis or emergency mental health service, if someone requires more specialised support, we will support, and respond with care and help guide them to the most appropriate services.
When COVID hit Bali in 2020, people were isolated, anxious, and overwhelmed. Ten Yayasan — local Indonesian charity foundations — came together with one shared mission: to make sure nobody had to face it alone.
Together they launched LISA, the only suicide prevention helpline in Indonesia at the time. The need was immediate and overwhelming — 1,300 missed calls per day, because the demand was simply too great to keep up with.
That reality hasn't changed. Indonesia has just one psychiatrist per 300,000 people. The gap between need and access is enormous. Over five years, BBB grew into a full clinical team — providing free psychiatric support and free counselling services for anyone who needed them. But demand has grown faster than we can keep up: our services are now experiencing up to a six-week waiting period before people can access counselling.
So we changed the model. The BBB Community Model exists so that nobody has to wait alone.
10 Yayasan — local Indonesian charity foundations — came together. They launched LISA, the only suicide helpline in Indonesia. 1,300 missed calls per day showed just how vast the need was.
Volunteer-powered listening support and safe sharing spaces — creating real community for people with nowhere else to turn.
Hired staff, partnered with a clinical psychologist, and expanded to structured professional care — for the first time moving beyond volunteer support.
A six-week counselling waitlist showed us the scale of the need. Now, people come straight in — peer support, group sessions, a safe space — while they wait for one-on-one care. Nobody sits at home alone anymore.
This isn't a big corporate ask. It's a community coming together to build something real — a space where people feel welcome, supported, and less alone.
People come in off the street and get support the same day. No referral. No waiting room. Your contribution reaches someone in real time.
Built in Bali, run by local professionals, for the Bali community. Indonesian or expat, local or visitor — this space is for everyone.
We've been doing this since 2020. We're not starting from scratch — we're opening a door that we've been building toward for five years.
Partners are recognised at the centre, across social media, and in everything we put out. Align your brand with something that genuinely matters.
The BBB Community Model runs three times a week as a structured Intensive Outpatient Programme (IOP) — all inclusive, covering mental health and addiction, free to join for anyone. Alongside the IOP, we offer two community wellness programmes open to absolutely everybody.
Currently our services help approximately 1,000 people monthly. We have always been free for everyone, and we're now moving toward long-term self-sustainability — with your help. A cup of tea, a coffee, a conversation. No referral. No cost. No waiting.
Making mental health accessible in Bali — led by local professionals who understand the community deeply.
Assessments, MHAT continuation, mental health first aid, psycho-education, and policy & procedure.
Programme direction, daily delivery, coordination, and participant support — the backbone of every session.
Community outreach, social media, partnerships, and all sponsor communications.
We've done the hard work. We have the clinical team, the model, and the community. What we need now is a handful of people and businesses to help us get this space open and keep it running.
