Daisy Rosales

I am the Co-founder and Executive Director of Brio, a nonprofit that advances global mental health and wellbeing through design and collaboration with local community organizations. Through partnership, training, and resource creation, Brio co-creates effective initiatives that resonate in local contexts and scale through local systems. Since 2018, we have worked with impact organizations in Latin America, Asia, and the United States, creating innovative programs that build psychological flexibility. To date, Brio’s collaborative approach has generated effective and contextualized programs reaching more than 10,000 people directly. I am inspired everyday by the power of proximity, the mutuality of compassion, and processes that reflect the dignity of all people. My work through Brio has been recognized by Yale University, Acumen, Poets and Quants, One Young World, The Wellbeing Project, and the Rockefeller Foundation. I hold a BA cum laude from Harvard and an MBA from Yale.
