Effective Mental Health and Sentient Impact run this remote fellowship on scalable global mental health interventions. The detailed description and six-module syllabus support a six-week format, although the program-page header says eight weeks.
Participants study wellbeing measurement, interpersonal and digital interventions, systems-level approaches, and impact-focused career planning through readings and live discussion. The latest published cohort began in late March 2026, and no later cohort date is currently stated.

- The course provides facilitator-led weekly video discussions, readings, activities, and a project focused on the global mental health gap.
- The weekly commitment is about five hours, including two to three hours of preparation and a 90-minute live discussion.
- Fellows can connect with the cohort and alumni through a dedicated Slack community.
Eligibility
- International applicants are welcome, including mental health professionals, policy makers, people in effective altruism, and learners exploring impact-focused mental health work.
- The official pages state no nationality, residency, degree, age, gender, or work-experience restriction.
