Interdisciplinary Global Mental Health Innovation (IGMHI) is a network of experienced practitioners, researchers, educators, and activists working across sectors and disciplines to maximize health and well-being in pursuit of durable and equitable social justice, planetary health, and social determinants of health. Utilizing interdisciplinary approaches across the global Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus, we effectively respond with communities impacted by adversity and trauma related to disasters, violence, conflict, and migration. We provide community-engaged, culturally responsive, trauma-informed services that are both adaptive to immediate implementation and foundational to future innovations. This initiative is affiliated with the International Disaster Psychology: Trauma & Global Mental Health graduate program.
IGMHI provides community-engaged, culturally responsive, trauma-informed services to support resilience within communities around the world facing adversity and trauma related to climate change, armed conflict, crises, migration, human rights, and violence.
IGMHI's provision of mental health care and support is grounded in evidence, applied research, cultural responsivity, community engagement, and sustainability. We offer education & training, technical assistance & capacity building, and mental health & psychosocial support.
Our foundations of innovation promote connectedness both intersectorally and intergenerationally through communities, helping to enhance existing strengths, advance local workforce development, expand access to MHPSS services, reduce cultural barriers, and promote human rights.
