Pioneering Culturally-Specific Mental Health Research in Ayiti
RSM is at the forefront of conducting and facilitating research that is deeply rooted in the cultural and social realities of Ayiti. By integrating indigenous knowledge with contemporary mental health practices, RSM produces research that not only fills critical gaps in global mental health understanding but also directly informs the development of effective, culturally-sensitive mental health interventions for Haitian communities both on the island and in the diaspora.
