JOB DETAILS:

StrongMinds (www.strongminds.org) is a dynamic and fast growing 501(c)(3) social enterprise based in Maplewood, N.J, that focuses on one of the most underserved populations and one of the most pervasive mental illnesses in the world. We treat depression among women of all ages in Africa, where access to mental health treatment is extremely limited, and will be launching our services in Newark, New Jersey beginning in 2022.
Since its start in 2014, StrongMinds has treated over 170,000 women with depression in Uganda and Zambia. We are the only organization scaling a solution to depression with a potential to serve millions of people in the next ten years.
StrongMinds has earned an impressive reputation in the global mental health space. In addition to media coverage in the New York Times, Forbes, BBC World Service, and the Stanford Social Innovation Review, we are described by UK organization Founders Pledge as the most costeffective mental health organization working in the developing world.
