OUR MISSION
Reimagining Community Mental Health Care
The OTR Academy emerged from over 13 years of work with youths, parents, families, and the community. We believe that a strong foundation in mental health and wellbeing is rooted in holistic self-care habits that are transformative – rippling outward into an interconnected ecosystem of community-powered care.
"The journey in mental wellbeing begins with you, the moment you decide to take charge of your own wellbeing. As a Wellbeing Champion and Wellbeing Mentor, you are at the heart of your own wellbeing circle and in a pole position to provide support for your loved ones and those in your immediate network. We are reimagining and reinventing community mental health care as we know it."
