Overview of Our Mission
Dr. Kohrt's work is driven by his firsthand experiences in Nepal, where he recognized the urgent need for accessible mental health care in low-resource settings. His initiatives focus on training community members, such as health workers and teachers, to provide vital mental health support.
Innovative Tools and Approaches
Central to these efforts is the EQUIP toolkit, which is designed to reduce stigma and improve access to mental health care on a global scale. This toolkit, along with other related projects, is being implemented both internationally and domestically, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to mental health equity.
Global and Local Impact
Our work is not confined to international borders. We are also committed to enhancing mental health care access and reducing stigma in the United States. By equipping local communities with the necessary tools and training, we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals facing mental health challenges.
