Since 2018, we’ve been working with partners around the world to strengthen community mental health and wellbeing in underserved contexts, addressing the mental health crisis beyond clinical settings. Thanks to these partnerships and our donors, more than 133,500 people — from children and youth to teachers and community leaders — have been developing the psychological skills needed to live with greater agency, freedom, connection, and purpose.

How we measure our impact

At Brio, we aim for impact that is authentic, deep, and lasting. So we don’t just look at group averages from pre-to-post program — we also want to understand how meaningful the transformation is at the individual level. Across programs, we use relevant measures and statistical analysis to deepen our understanding, and leverage participant feedback to learn and improve.
