At the Foundation for Global Community Health (GCH), we are driven by a passion for promoting healthy schools, comprised of healthy children, through social, emotional wellness, and global youth justice.

"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to its head.
If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart"

-Nelson Mandela



Mental health and resilience is, or should be, the cornerstone of all future smart cities and can only become truly sustainable through the mass adoption by citizens who reside in these communities. The key to our sustainable well-being solutions are programs and resources that are found locally but can be shared, implemented and improved globally.



We aim to provide a well-regarded, recognized and researched school-based well-being index for validation and evaluation complete with a transparent, fiscally-sustainable revenue component to support well-being resources - all powered by students.


The GCH multi-disciplinary team has been assembled to develop and implement a well-being index and content unique to the culture and location of participating schools. By meshing the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Whole School Model, and the SEL model for social and emotional learning with various geographical interface systems (GIS), community health resources, environmental data, our relationships around the world and our own proprietary OTT content library, we have the track record and potential to implement the MyCity MySchool Well-being Index and achieve a real, measurable, sustainable impact.


"If your plan is for one year plant rice.
If your plan is for ten years, plant trees.
If your plan is for one hundred years educate children"

Global citizenship goes beyond self.
Where, how and, why WE live as a global community matters!
