OUR MISSION
NMHER is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and advocacy in mental health. NMHER in collaboration with other national and international non-profit organizations cultivate youth leadership programs at schools and in those communities where mental health and awareness are lacking.
The other mission of NMHER is health services capacity building for service deprived communities.
NMHER also work towards improving education and e-learning for children.
We seek research grants from donor organizations to conduct mental health research in immigrant and minority populations.
Youth Outreach

Community Outreach

Health.
○ Minority and immigrant community outreach: At NMHER, we focus on providing education in mental health and substance use disorders problems to Nepalese Diaspora living in the United States.
Access to quality information surrounding Mental Health is often non-existent among immigrant and minority populations living in the United States.
Minority and immigrant population based research

We are advocating for research surrounding mental health and substance use disorders in the Nepalese diaspora in the United States and in Nepal.
capacity building and resource allocation in health services
NMHER promotes tele-medicine to provide general as well as mental health services to underserved communities in the United States and other countries.
fun to learn programs
NMHER supports schools to set-up e-learning classes, improve infrastructure of schools, extra-curricular activities, and school lunch program.
academic scholarships and psychosocial support

MY STORY:
After losing a family member to addiction,
I knew I couldn’t sit back while my community suffered. I became a psychiatrist because I wanted to be a part of the solution. After working with countless Nepalese patients, I knew I needed more help in this battle. For this reason, I have started NMHER to enlist a whole community to help fight against the stigmas surrounding Mental Health and Addiction.
