World Mental Health Day reminds us that mental well-being is the cornerstone of a healthy, thriving society! Friends of Mewar is proud to be the primary financial support to Harvard Medical School’s Global Mental Health initiative since 2019 through the start of The Friends of Mewar Fund in Global Mental Health to support a myriad of program activities to address disparities and curate an online curriculum to train mental health workers in the development and delivery of psychological therapies.

FoM’s founder, Padmaja Kumari Parmar, is a member of the HMS’s Global Health & Service Advisory Council and is passionate about supporting the important work by Vikram Patel, the Pershing Square Professor of Global Health in the Blavatnik Institute at Harvard Medical School and the new chair of the HMS Department of Global Health & Social Medicine, and the entire team.
