iMentor, a company incubated at the Elite Technology Development Center within the Iran International Innovation District (IIID), successfully prevented 32 imminent suicide attempts across the country during the first 40 days of the recent conflict by providing free, specialized online psychological counseling, the IIID Media Center reported on May 16, 2026.

Amid the psychological crises exacerbated by the recent conflict, iMentor deployed a team of psychologists and mental health professionals to offer accessible, remote support to individuals in distress. Seyed Mohammad Sadegh Beheshtian, CEO of iMentor, emphasized that psychological crises do not recognize geographic borders, making the online nature of their services crucial for reaching individuals from border towns to major metropolises.

Key aspects of iMentor’s crisis intervention strategy include:

  • Personalized Treatment Plans: In one notable case, the team successfully stabilized a psychology student and crisis management instructor who was at risk, by strategically leveraging his own academic expertise as a tool for psychological reconstruction and academic reintegration.
  • Uncompromised Quality in Pro Bono Services: Beheshtian noted that the free services are delivered by dedicated professionals who view this work as a social responsibility, often allowing for more in-depth and effective sessions than standard commercial models.
  • Confidentiality and Family Mediation: All sessions are conducted in a secure, confidential environment. In select cases, the team facilitated mediated sessions with family members (while strictly maintaining patient privacy) to effectively reduce domestic tensions.

Beheshtian concluded that while conflicts may end, their psychological scars persist. Beyond psychological support, iMentor also offers business and legal counseling services to help mitigate broader social tensions and foster a supportive environment for all segments of society.
