Research of Community Mental Health Initiative

What Research of Community Mental Health Initiative does

Research of Community Mental Health Initiative (RoCMHI / Kelompok Riset Kesehatan Mental Komunitas) is a private, non-profit research group operating since approximately 2010 out of the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Indonesia in Depok, West Java. The organization conducts community-based mental health research, education, and advocacy targeting disaster survivors, post-conflict communities (notably Maluku via long-standing partner LAPPAN), low socio-demographic groups, rural populations, and adolescents and youth across Indonesia. Its core team comprises Ph.D.-credentialed psychologists and researchers, supported by a network of 80+ researchers, interns, volunteers, and associate members, led by Yunisari Sherly, Ph.D., Psikolog.

RoCMHI's offerings center on the Mental Floss for Youth educational course, the Psychological First Aid (PFA) Volunteer Team training program, and ongoing project platforms including Berkooliah and Kini Kelak. The underlying technology is non-proprietary: standard web publishing (rocmhi.com, kinikelak.com, berkooliah.com), podcast distribution on Spotify/Anchor/Apple/Google, and a YouTube channel for webinar archives. Distribution is delivered directly through academic networks, NGO partnerships, and digital content — all programs are provided free of charge to participants.

The organization has no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, and no commercial pricing model. It operates as an academic research initiative embedded within Universitas Indonesia, relying on university affiliation and informal grant-style support rather than fee-based services. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: webinars, workshops, community healing sessions (Badonci), and conference presentations at venues such as AASP, WPA, WACP, APSAD, and ACHP. Strategic partnerships with LAPPAN (since 2000), YPMAI (since 2014), IPK Indonesia, PPI Italia, and Volunteers.ae UAE underpin both domestic program delivery and limited international exposure.

• Yayasan Pulih: Indonesian mental health NGO providing community-based psychosocial support, education, and advocacy. Directly comparable as an Indonesian community mental health organization combining direct services with public education, similar to RoCMHI's community intervention model.
• Into The Light Indonesia: Indonesian mental health awareness organization focused on education, anti-stigma campaigns, and community engagement. Comparable because of its parallel mission of using education and community outreach to improve mental health outcomes in Indonesia.
• Suara Kita (formerly Hubunganku): Indonesian mental health information and support platform. Both organizations focus on making mental health knowledge accessible to Indonesian youth and communities, though RoCMHI emphasizes research and direct community work.

Others

• Himpunan Psikologi Indonesia (HIMPSI): National professional association of psychologists in Indonesia. Comparable as the broader ecosystem RoCMHI operates within, with overlapping concerns around professional development, mental health standards, and public education.
• Ikatan Psikolog Klinis (IPK) Indonesia: Indonesian clinical psychology professional organization. Listed as a RoCMHI partner and the credentialing body for clinical psychologists in Indonesia, making it a closely related ecosystem participant.
• Movement for Global Mental Health: International advocacy network promoting mental health in low-resource settings. Comparable because it represents the global advocacy and policy layer that RoCMHI's community work connects to.
• UNICEF Indonesia: UN agency operating in Indonesia including on adolescent mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies. A potential donor and partner for RoCMHI's disaster-affected and youth-focused programs.
• World Health Organization (WHO) Indonesia: WHO country office implementing mental health gap action programs in Indonesia. Comparable as a key institutional actor that funds and shapes community mental health interventions in the same geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Centre for Global Mental Health: International research collaboration focused on mental health research in low- and middle-income countries. Comparable as a larger, established research entity that RoCMHI could partner with or align to for international research visibility.
• Black Dog Institute: Australia-based mental health research and clinical translation institute. Comparable as a globally recognized mental health research organization producing community-relevant evidence and educational programs, though at much larger scale.
