We are a mission born from lived experience, created to bring understanding, compassion, and support to those facing depression and other mental health challenges, so that no one has to suffer in silence.

The Mariautis Mission was born from the vision of Antônio José, who, before ending his pain, dreamed of creating a space of understanding and support for people who, like him, lived in silence while struggling with depression.

Today, this mission continues in his memory, and in honor of his deepest wish to ease the pain that so many face alone.

Our purpose is to inform, support, and embrace people living with depression and other emotional challenges, especially those with neurological and mental health conditions, within the spectrum of neurodevelopmental conditions.

We seek to break the silence, show that no one is alone, and encourage understanding and help , because recognizing one’s own pain is the first step toward finding care and life.

The Mariautis Mission exists to transform pain into care, and memory into hope, helping each person recognize their worth, their light, and their place in the world.

💙 In memory of Antônio José  and in tribute to his daughter Maria, so that as she grows, she may not face only the pain of losing her father, but the wish to understand, to feel, and to move forward with love.

Mariautis is not just a mission.
It is a tribute, a hug, a shared voice,
A light in the dark.

Founder: Antônio’s family and friends
