Building a Network of Certified Multisectoral MHPSS Providers
MISSION
The Women’s Wellness Institute is a 501(c)(3) education and training provider organization created with and for multisectoral professionals to support the mental health and wellbeing of women and girls across life-stages in diverse communities.
WHY WOMEN
Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. It has intrinsic and instrumental value and is integral to our well-being. According to the 2025 World Health Today report by WHO, over one billion people live with a mental disorder, yet most remain underserved. While mental health affects everyone, women often carry the heaviest burden, especially when it comes to anxiety and depression.
By equipping multisectoral professionals with the knowledge, skills, and tools to design, implement, and provide trauma-informed, gender-responsive, and culturally grounded mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services, we increase accessibility and availability of mental health services for women and girls, and by extension families and communities.
VISION
At the Women’s Wellness Institute, we envision a world where women and girls—across all identities, abilities, and lived experiences—thrive in safe, inclusive, and resilient communities. Guided by a public health approach, we are committed to advancing mental, emotional, and psychological well-being through our accredited and globally recognized signature MHPSS-CP™ course.
Our vision is to build and sustain a transformative global network of certified Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Professionals equipped to lead, scale, and integrate healing-centered, culturally responsive support systems in multicultural and multilingual communities. We champion the right of culturally and linguistically appropriate mental health and wellness support for women and girls—inclusive, but not limited to LGBTQI communities, feminists, people with disabilities, youth, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and key HIV populations—ensuring that their voices, healing, and leadership shape the future of mental health and psychosocial support worldwide.
We strive to ensure that mental health is not siloed but embedded as a foundational pillar of inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development.
