A global research hub to democratize wellness.
MAKING WELLNESS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL
The term democratizing wellness refers to the movement to make wellness practices and resources more accessible and inclusive to a wider range of individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status, race, gender, age, or other factors that may limit their access to these resources.

We prioritize respect for diverse mental health models and strive to bridge cultural divides to create effective and culturally appropriate approaches to mental health.
Emerging Technologies
We explore how emerging technologies can be leveraged to enhance access to mental and physical health services and promote wellness. We will examine the ethical and cultural implications of these technologies and advocate for their responsible use.
