Investing in Mental Wealth, SilverBell Global Develops the Dialogue in Dubai
Spearheading the concept of ‘mental wealth’ in Dubai, SilverBell Global uses a holistic approach to improve wellbeing via specialist coaching and neuroscience workshops
Dubai is a city of superlatives, home to the world’s tallest buildings, decadent experiences, and a pace of life that challenges residents to rise to the occasion or risk falling behind. Yet beneath this shiny facade lies a quieter story—the pressure to succeed and the mental toll accompanying such heights. SilverBell Global, an international leader in mental health and wellness recovery, addresses these challenges holistically, blending expert therapeutic coaching with best-in-class medical and psychological assessments.
Championing this concept of ‘mental wealth’ in Dubai, SilverBell Global creates customized plans that blend expert therapeutic coaching with best-in-class medical and psychological assessments. Mindful collaboration with an international roster of clinicians and mental health professionals honors each client and family’s spiritual path and culture. Robust psychoeducational panels and workshops expand the dialogue around mental health.
“At a glance, Dubai radiates success, but the toll it can take on mental health is often invisible,” notes Dana Ariss, SilverBell Global’s UAE recovery specialist.“ The Dubai Health Authority’s recent campaign reflects a positive shift, showing how the region is beginning to embrace mental wellbeing as a resource as valuable as any other.”
With a BA in psychology, an MA in school counselling, and certification as a Chief Wellness Officer on the way, Ariss brings both personal recovery experience and academic expertise to her work. “Dubai is a mosaic of cultures, beliefs, and approaches,” she says, “Therapeutic Coaching is still a relatively new concept here, so we focus on raising awareness and building connections within the community.”
Ariss highlights SBG’s collaborative, culturally responsive approach: “We listen to individuals and families to learn what resonates most with them. We don’t dispense wisdom; we empower and support people with the resources to access their own wisdom.” She emphasises that “cultural responsiveness and respect guide our work as we hold individuals and families throughout their unique journeys, navigating alongside them.”
Building on the success of last year’s panel discussion on The Neuroscience of Productivity, Health, and Peace of Mind at Vida Emirates Hills – which featured esteemed UAE-based experts Nour El Hafi, Chantal Ishac, and Dr. David Lee alongside renowned international practitioners Dr. Wayne Kampers and Lena Weissenborn – Ariss is now thrilled to introduce Dubai to The Voyage, an immersive exploration of the stages of trauma recovery, self discovery, and personal growth led by acclaimed trauma specialist Lou Lebentz.
“When it comes to investing in Mental Wealth, experiential learning in a community setting is invaluable,” says Ariss. “Growth is not just about access to expertise. Co-regulation, flexibility, and community are essential aspects of learning to thrive in a city that demands so much of us – and gives so much in return.”
