Vida Plena means ‘Flourishing Life.’
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to thrive.
Yet common, treatable mental health problems too often stand in the way. We exist to help close that gap.

Why focus on mental health?
From stringing beads and building community to expanding access to mental health care, read the story of how Vida Plena began.
Why do this? We believe in:
Community
Our work is grounded in the belief in the transformative power of people coming together to build communities of support where people can grow and learn.
Collaboration
We seek the common good, working with a spirit of collaboration and generosity. What is good for the world is good for us.
Evidence-Based Work
Our approach is grounded in identifying and applying the most effective methods based on rigorous evaluation.
Our Big Idea
Mental health care should not depend on access to a specialist.
Vida Plena expands the circle of who can deliver care by training community members to provide evidence-based group therapy and supporting governments to scale it.
