academia.
Our academic vertical seeks to equip society with the tools and skills necessary to handle mental health crisis scenarios, to move towards empathy, to build capacity for mental health professionals, and to create a sound ecosystem for those with mental health concerns to not just live, but thrive.
In order to share scientific knowledge, impart clinical skills, and enhance best practices related to capacity building of mental health professionals, Mpower has partnered with ECHO Trust, India to deliver academic training to remotely located mental health professionals.
Mpower and ECHO are aligned in their aim to revolutionize mental health education and increase workforce capacity, while reducing health disparities.
We understand that youth today are susceptible to mental health concerns.
However, early intervention and
prevention can have a significant positive impact on a young person’s prognosis.
Keeping this in mind, our team has designed Minds Matter, the first school based mental
health curriculum in India.
This curriculum is woven into the classroom timetable and incorporates mental health
literacy, psychosocial intervention, and professional treatments,
if required.

Testimonials
When our school introduced Minds Matter Health Curriculum to us, I was so excited to know more about this curriculum and its impact on me. I was very curious to know how my mind impacts my health. Through the sessions, I started understanding the importance of mental health and how I can take care of the mental health of mine and the people around me. Learnings from these sessions are so helpful for me in my personal and academic development. In many ways, learnings from these sessions are helping me. I came to know my strengths, know myself better, strengthen my coping mechanisms, become more aware about myself, able to take care of my physical and mental health on a daily basis, explored my self-Identity, able to concentrate better, can keep myself motivated and so on. I feel more positive, calm, relaxed, and confident nowadays. Thank you everyone for such an insightful curriculum.
