A new institute, built to be examined

IHE was founded in 2026. A funder can already check our published frameworks, the governance rules set by our bylaws, and the public inventory of our first mission.

Three lines a grant can fund today

  • Counseling in Spanish

    Sign-ups open

    The counseling program of the IHE Medical Corps: a group talk with a professional and, for anyone who wants one, a private conversation. By video call, in Spanish, from any country. A grant would fund the first sessions.

  • Humanitarian response in Venezuela

    July mission documented

    In July, our team brought supplies to families living in the camps of Caracas and La Guaira. The donation inventory is public, and gifts to the Venezuela fund pay for relief work only.

  • The MindWorkIn pilot

    In pilot

    Our cognitive skills program, with 200 participants planned for year one. The metrics are declared up front: self-reported decision clarity, attention regulation measured with cognitive tasks, metacognitive calibration accuracy, and overall well-being.
