The Institute’s action strategies are divided into two main areas: Education and Advocacy. In Education, we develop programs and projects with a priority focus on school environment, mainly on public school educators.
In Advocacy, we aim to combat stigmas, prejudice, and late search for treatment through education and awareness in Brazilian society about the culture of mental health promotion, prevention, and management.
