Research & Academic Partners
Vida Plena implements group Interpersonal Therapy (g-IPT), the WHO’s recommended first-line treatment for depression, in partnership with Columbia University’s Global Mental Health Lab, one of the world’s leading centers for evidence-based mental health implementation.
We are committed to rigorous learning, continuous improvement, and building the evidence base for community-delivered mental health care in Latin America.
We are actively seeking academic and research partners.
If your institution is working to expand access to mental health care in low-resource settings, we’d welcome the conversation.
Working Through Public Systems
Vida Plena partners with municipalities, health departments, and regional governments to strengthen their capacity to deliver evidence-based mental health care.
Through training, technical assistance, implementation support, and monitoring and evaluation, we help public institutions integrate effective mental health services into existing systems and expand access to care in their communities.
