About Alanna Sethi

Hello! My name is Alanna, I'm a Laidlaw Scholar Alumni (University of Toronto 2024 Cohort).

I graduated with a first class in my BSc (Hons) Psychology student from the University of Toronto and am an incoming 2027 DPhil (PhD) in Psychiatry Student.

I am a youth mental health advocate and the CEO and Founder of non-profit organization HOPE (Helping Our Planet Earth) and Board Member of registered charity Narrative 4. 

My work at HOPE focuses on making mental health support accessible to youth internationally through mental health education, empathy and youth leadership empowerment. We are excitedly working on digital mental health tech - more on this soon!

I also recently started a new role with One Earth by IST. As the Mindful Leadership lead, I'm focused on supporting our youth programmes and develop trainings that build emotional intelligence and leadership skills for changemakers!
