SAIUNIVERSITY

SAIU believes that by reaching deep in the Indian culture, that we can apply alternate approaches to healing mental disorders and everyday anxieties. This has moved SAIU to partner with Asha the Hope of Bangalore, India, who has developed unique programs to deal with mental health.

Mental illness affects every individual, every family, every community, and every country, directly or indirectly, throughout the world. The latest data shows that almost one out of every two individuals will experience a mental illness in their lifetime, and the pandemic has made things even worse.

Mental illness exists in all ages, all genders, and across all cultures.

It is for these reasons that understanding and caring for persons living with mental illness are so important. It is also for these reasons that becoming a psychologist, therapist, psychiatrist, or other form of mental health practitioner can be the most valuable and compelling professional work that one may undertake. It is the kind of work where one can make a tremendous difference.

We strive to train future clinicians, teachers, scholars, and leaders in psychiatry and behavioral medicine. We welcome your interest in our Twinning Programs with Asha the Hope, and we hope you find one of the programs to be a good fit for your professional development.

South American International University (SAIU) and Asha The Hope (ASHA) have entered into a Twinning Agreement to collaborate on conducting the program that leads to awarding of the,Doctorate in Alternative Therapy and Holistic Healing to students with a Masters Degree, or equivalent, that have successfully completed the program and have submitted a thesis that relates to their specialization.
