Integrative Mental Health University was founded in 2013 to bring spirituality into a more dynamic role in mental health practices as well as to educate mental healthcare providers. All courses at IMHU are accessible to anyone who wants to become more informed and empowered about their mental healthcare choices, personally or professionally. The concepts we teach are revolutionary and often inspire positive, personal transformation. We offer more than 40 courses, most of them online, taught by leaders in the field of integrative mental health. As an institution, we are not aligned with any one religion or spiritual group, and our teachers maintain an ecumenical welcoming approach—extending respect for all perspectives and spiritual experiences. Our flagship courses include “How to Effectively Support Someone in Spiritual Emergency”, Certification of Spiritual Emergence Coaches®, as well as a 7- day seminar in Brazil exposing healthcare providers to noted practitioners and the unique paradigm of care at Spiritist psychiatric hospitals that have been successful over their 100-year history. Professionals can learn how to discern spiritually-transformative experiences from psychopathology, how to integrate intense psychedelic experiences, and other practices not typically part of conventional graduate school curricula. We maintain a Directory of Spiritual Emergence Coaches® whom we have certified representing 17 countries. Thus, we bring a new model of professional care that involves a sophisticated understanding of spiritual experiences, normalizes spiritual evolution, teaches practical skills for optimizing mental health for both the public and healthcare providers, and provides immediate contact with certified practitioners. Other courses at IMHU present some of the newest, evidence-based reflections on aspects of an integrative (body, mind, spirit and community) approach to mental health. Graduates of our courses who are healthcare providers go on to offer more expanded services in their communities around the world. Students with lived spiritual experience gain helpful perspectives on their personal mental health journeys and find information to guide them as individuals, as well as up-to-date resources for professional support.
