John Naslund

My name is John Naslund, and I am Co-Director of the Mental Health For All Lab at Harvard Medical School, and faculty in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. I hold expertise in psychiatric epidemiology, implementation science, and digital mental health, and my scholarship seeks to advance efforts aimed at improving the lives of individuals facing the challenges of mental illness worldwide. My work largely focuses on low-resource settings in India and the U.S., using digital innovations to train frontline providers, support recovery in people with severe mental illness, and promote peer-to-peer support. My work is supported by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, the H.E. Butt Foundation, the Tepper Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a longstanding track record advocating for the rights, dignity, and quality of healthcare for those living with mental illness.
