We don't work alone.
15+ institutional partners building the South Asian mental health ecosystem together.
Partnerships that go deeper than a logo.
MHISA doesn't collect partners — we build relationships. Every organization we work with is connected to our mission in a meaningful way, whether through research collaboration, community programming, resource sharing, or advocacy. We partner with organizations that share our belief that South Asian mental health cannot wait.
The kinds of partnerships we build.
Institutional Partnerships
We partner with universities, hospitals, and health systems to conduct research, deliver programming, and build the infrastructure South Asian mental health needs. These partnerships provide academic credibility, research resources, and access to clinical expertise.
Community-Based Partnerships
Our most important partnerships are with the organizations South Asian communities already trust — temples, cultural associations, community centers, and student organizations. These partnerships are how we reach families who would never walk into a clinic.
Research Partnerships
We collaborate with faculty researchers, clinicians, and public health institutions to ensure our research meets the highest standards of academic rigor — and that our findings reach the audiences that can act on them.
Media & Advocacy Partnerships
We work with South Asian media outlets, advocacy organizations, and public health communicators to ensure our work reaches the broader South Asian community — and that South Asian mental health stays in the national conversation.

What our partnerships actually look like on the ground.
Stanford Medicine
Our collaboration with Dr. Apurva Bhatt at Stanford Medicine anchors MHISA's research program in academic rigor — providing faculty mentorship, research design guidance, and clinical expertise to our studies.

Our community partnerships with temples, cultural associations, and community centers across Austin, Dallas, the Bay Area, and beyond are how we reach South Asian families where they are — not where we wish they were.
Learn more →University Chapters
Our four university chapters at UT Austin, UT Dallas, Stanford, and UC Berkeley are themselves partnerships — with the universities, student governments, and faculty who support our work on campus.
