Meet the people who are the heart of the foundation
Mindset Institute foundation for emotional education and mental health promotion
Magdalena Kowalska
Founder, Foundation President
For more than a dozen years, she has been professionally involved in relationship building, communications and social impact initiatives. She is actively involved in community, philanthropic and volunteer activities. After experiencing working in business, she decided to fully focus on social work in the area of mental health, which is one of the most significant challenges in the world today. She is a member of the LeaderShe Association, which develops and promotes initiatives that build women’s leadership competencies.
She holds a degree in Polish philology from Warsaw University, a postgraduate degree in public relations from the Warsaw School of Economics and a degree in corporate social responsibility from Kozminski University. She is currently studying psychology at Warsaw’s SWPS University and art therapy at WSKZ. She is interested in the impact of new technologies on mental health, building the well-being of families with children and the pro-health effects of creativity (bibliotherapy and art therapy using visual arts).
As a mom of two teenagers, I understand the challenges parents face. I know that in building a child’s mental resilience, the support of the family and the immediate environment is essential. I also believe that a crisis can be a new beginning and an opportunity for a better future.
