About

The New School Center for Global Mental Health is dedicated to advancing the understanding and practice of mental health on a global scale.

We focus on emphasizing the importance of mental well-being for individuals and communities, recognizing that mental health is a fundamental aspect of overall health, as described by the World Health Organization. We engage in research, education, and advocacy to address mental health issues that affect people worldwide, aiming to reduce stigma and discrimination associated with mental health conditions.

Through collaboration and promoting inclusive, scalable practices, the New School Center for Global Mental Health seeks to improve mental health outcomes and ensure access to care for all populations, regardless of their background or circumstances.

The Center is directed by Adam Brown, Psychology Faculty at the New School for Social Research, and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the New York University School of Medicine.
