A Journey to Cuba: Medical/Mental Health Educational Exchange in Cuba, February 2013

Back in 2011, I met with a group of mental health providers from diverse backgrounds who converged in Phoenix for a retreat to share ideas and vision of integrative mental health. From that shared time, the International Network of Integrative Mental Health (INIMH) was born.One of our mandates was to connect with other countries regarding the shared wealth of knowledge about integrative mental health. James Lake MD, our current president of INIMH, had reconnected with a long-lost cousin in Cuba about 2 years before. They worked hard to pull the opportunity together.
