Our programs
Support our workChildren’s mental health, with and through their teachers
Together with civil society organizations and public sector partners, we co-design programs that weave mental health into the education system – rooted in what matters most to children and teachers. We’re currently building our momentum in Rajasthan, India, training teachers to build mental health skills within themselves first, so they can help children flourish in the classroom and beyond.
System-embedded programs
On the path to reaching 4 million children and teachers by 2029
Public education already reaches millions of children, including the most marginalised. When mental health promotion is built inside that system, impact doesn’t only compound but it’s also lasting. At Brio, we’re working with the Education Department of Rajasthan to make that happen.

Armonía – a new vision of youth leadership
Together with Amadeus in Colombia, we co-created Armonía, a youth leadership program rooted in the belief that leadership shows up in everyday moments, not just on big stages. Through music, community wisdom, and our evidence-based framework, the program supports young people in Bello to navigate daily life with openness, curiosity, and kindness – guided by teachers equipped to bring this vision to life across music schools.
