We are leading a seismic shift in how humanitarian and livelihood interventions are developed, implemented, and funded. In order to achieve this impact we focus, invest, and center our work around brain health.
It has been proven that focusing on specific, clinically based mental health interventions saves money, improves program outcomes, and most importantly, improves people’s health. Millions of dollars are poured into economic development programs aimed at moving people out of poverty, yet they are insufficient.
It is impossible to ignore the very clear relationship between mental health and poverty resilience including the ability to concentrate in school or make focused long-term business decisions. We need to invest in clinical and empirically-based trauma-informed interventions to ensure that education and economic development programs have long-term durability. Let us help your organization not only to lift but keep people out of poverty.
Ensure that your trauma-informed approaches are rooted in neuroscience and clinically proven approaches. We offer several tiers of custom and a la carte services to maximize your funding and increase impact.
At Impact Alchemy we expand on Dr. Gabor Mate's definition of trauma. We define trauma as the wound that happens inside of us as a result of what happened to us or as a result of what did not happen to u involves the psychological, physiological, and sociological wounds that may manifest immediately, decades later, or be carried through . This is to be differentiated from life events or experiences that are uncomfortable, annoying, or temporarily upsetting.
Our experts directly deliver tailored and customized services to your organization.

General, supportive counseling was found to be less cost-effective than no treatment at all due to its low clinical effectiveness and high delivery costs. EMDR was found to be the most affordable and cost-effective when compared to 10 other common mental health treatment interventions. The trauma-focused interventions of EMDR and prolonged exposure yielded significantly better cost and health savings compared to "care as usual".
Economic development and basic supportive counseling interventions alone provide only short-term gains when the trauma caused by chronic poverty or witnessing traumatic events such as conflict, displacement, natural disasters, human rights violations, health crisis, domestic, or community violence is not addressed.
