Nalanda Institute for Contemplative Science

Repost from Joseph Loizzo

Last week in Miami I had the privilege of participating in gathering initiated by Patrick J. Kennedy as part of his lifelong fight to make mental health care a right rather than a luxury. The focus of the gathering was how to take the rapid change initiated by the overall health crisis and the tide of AI to find new ways to transform our broken mental healthcare system in the U.S. and elsewhere by reaching out directly to people with creative health education and empowering skills learning programs enhancing by systematic coaching and long term community-building.

I was there to present on Nalanda Institute’s Compassion-Based Resilience Training (CBRT) which we have recently built into a new precision mental health app called Dawn created through the partnership of Steve Carnevale and Mobio Interactive’s Besh Saab.

What struck me most about Patrick and everyone at the gathering was how folks were genuinely committed, listening and working together to make people’s lives better.

Grateful for the chance to be in dialogue with Patrick, Steve, Besh, and our whole gathering, including Hans IJerman, Anna Wang, Shebani Sethi MD ABOM, Chris Appleton, Lauren Driscoll, Rebecca Messing Haigler, Andrew MacPherson, Dr Bechara Saab, Marjorie Morrison, Joseph Loizzo, and many more.

Let’s keep growing the dialogue and the collaboration sparked in that gathering!
