TRAINING IN THE HOPE MODEL
Hope Integrative Psychiatry was founded in 2010 by Dr. Omid Naim in order to find a more natural, self-reliant and complete way of helping people recover from mental illness. This led to him creating the HOPE Model.
In this model pain, sadness, anxiety, and distress are our bodies’ way of telling us what we need, where we are living out of balance with our innate nature, our personal story of disconnect from our authentic selves, and our need for belonging and purpose with our community and environment.
The model illuminates a more accurate, meaningful and inspiring story of the current mental health crisis that allows providers to transform patients and themselves.
Training in the HOPE Model will empower you to uncover your innate wisdom, restore your sense of purpose in why you wanted to help people, and support patients in achieving complete recovery.
"Modern psychiatry focuses on a disease model that says
your genes or your childhood are your fate. In reality,
science shows that the problem is not in you, it is the way
we are living, and we can recover completely under the
right conditions."
- Dr. Omid
