Mental health

Our researchers collaborate with communities, clinical institutions, and policymakers to develop evidence-based solutions that promote mental health and reduce stigma. Whether it's improving access to mental healthcare, promoting resilience in youth, or supporting individuals with severe mental illnesses, our aim is to contribute to the well-being of individuals and communities.
