Why We're Here

We created School for Transformative Mental Health to build opportunities for critical dialogue, mutual support, and advanced education and training for those within and outside the field.


Inside, you'll find a vast community of change makers, courses and trainings on transformative mental health, event announcements, and opportunities to get involved in our work.
