OUR
TEAM

We began by thoughtfully curating a diverse and highly qualified team capable of generating innovative and comprehensive solutions to address Mental Wellness for the World’s Growing Refugees, Migrants, and Disenfranchised Peoples.

Our Global Mental Wellness Project brings together stakeholders and passionate experts recruited from across the complementary domains of mental health, psychotherapy, epidemiology, academic research, narrative therapy, family systems theory, mass and social media, global media and public relations, public-private partnerships, international project management, financing, activist communities, and empowerment-centric scaling technology.
