Transformative Mental Health Core Curriculum
This curriculum is for anyone who wants to gain tangible advocacy skills, transform how they approach personal and collective healing, and shift broader systems of care. It is designed for mental health providers, care workers, and anyone invested in confronting the challenges of our current system, and fundamentally transforming how we provide support.
Brilliant doers,
strong advocates,
and artists of human connection
Our faculty members are a mix of experts by trade and experts by experience, all on the cutting edge of mental health alternatives.
How we work
Training & Education
We offer innovative courses, online and in-person in New York City. Our trainings are led in collaboration by those with professional training and lived experience and cover critical, timely, and socially relevant topics, and allow us to provide the space for communities to connect and share with each other.
Community Events & Resources
We host community events that foster connection, support, and shared knowledge for peers, clinicians, family members, and all who are interested in shifting the way we practice mental health care. Check out our upcoming workshops and events to see what's going on this month!
Cross-Movement Organizing
We educate around key issue areas to shed light on the ways in which systems of oppression intersect with mental health; and forge partnerships across movements and disciplines (e.g. disability, racial, environmental justice) to fuel intersectional, cross-movement, and transformative change.
What are people saying about us?
“One of the best trainings I have ever attended - a heart-centered, empathetic, person-centered space. Phenomenal speakers and topics! All very rich and valuable. Information is dense but presented in a very approachable and relatable way.”
“Thank you for such well-rounded, enlightening, and engaging presentations and workshops with such relatable, transparent, and open presenters!"
"IDHA makes me feel like there could be a space in the world for someone like me, where I don’t have to hide parts of me...where all are valid and welcome."
"I loved how the presenters moved in between structural and individual applications! I learned some tools as a supporter on an individual level but also some food for thought on ways I can contribute to broader changes in the system, or outside of it."
“They balance professionalism with humanity”
