Training & Consultation
Our Founders
All of our services are facilitated by licensed mental health counselors who bring expertise in educational counseling and training, student and family treatment, and vast international experiences studying, living, working, volunteering, or traveling to 70+ countries across 6 continents.
Critical Needs
More than 75% of college students report moderate to severe mental health impairment. These needs must be addressed not just on campus, but across global education programming.
Throughout our trainings and materials, we’ll highlight critical needs and evidence-based practices so you can assess and successfully integrate what you’ve learned.
Improving Outcomes
Our #1 priority is safety and we know that global education can also be a forum to build mental wellbeing and facilitate growth.
We provide research-validated interventions that non-mental health professionals can effectively utilize. All of our materials include resources and actionable strategies to deepen content we cover.
