Core offering

Global Mental Wellness Foundation assembles multidisciplinary expert teams to design, finance and deploy mental wellness programs and education for refugees, migrants and disenfranchised peoples, anchored on narrative therapy as a layperson-deployable psychotherapeutic practice. The foundation's first concrete project is an initial application plus promotional campaign to deliver proven mental wellness methodologies, psychological healing, resilience education, and reintegration support to displaced populations, with the long-term goal of expanding a derivative solution to all global populations as a Mental Wellness Moonshot.

Product overview

Global Mental Wellness Foundation operates as a non-profit mental wellness organization rather than a software product company. The foundation's primary offering is its mental wellness initiative targeting refugees and displaced populations, built around narrative therapy as a core therapeutic approach. The organization plans to develop an initial application to deliver these services. The portfolio consists of planned mental wellness programs and education services focused on supporting refugees through proven narrative therapy methodologies.

Broad incumbents

• International Medical Corps: International Medical Corps delivers mental-health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in conflict and displacement settings. Comparable on target population and mission, though broader in scope across general healthcare.

• BetterHelp: BetterHelp is a large online counseling and mental-wellness service. It is a broad incumbent relevant as the foundation scales narrative-therapy digital delivery beyond the refugee niche.
• Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH): CAMH is a leading mental-health teaching hospital in Canada whose Director of Knowledge Exchange (Dr. Branka Agic) advises the Global Mental Wellness Foundation. It is a broad incumbent in mental-health research, training and immigrant/refugee services.
• Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF): MSF provides medical and mental-healthcare services in crisis and refugee settings worldwide. It is a broad incumbent operating at much larger scale but overlapping on refugee health service delivery.
