Clark Care Counseling Initiative is a nonprofit, volunteer-led, online-based mental health support organization, providing free and culturally sensitive support to Myanmar individuals living abroad. We support diverse communities, including women, youth, migrants, refugees, displaced and undocumented individuals, stateless people, and LGBTQ+ communities — particularly those in Thailand, while remaining open worldwide.
Our services are delivered by Myanmar-trained counselors with extensive professional experience and a deep understanding of the cultural and migration-related challenges our communities face. All counselors are supported through regular supervision by international clinical professionals to ensure safe, ethical, and high-quality care.
We also provide an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), offering individual counseling and group support for employees across NGOs and private organizations.
We envision a future where Myanmar migrants and refugees can access high-quality, safe, affordable, and culturally sensitive mental health care, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, or background. We also hope to raise awareness around mental health to reduce stigma and empower Myanmar communities living abroad to thrive and build resilience.
The Clark Care Counseling Initiative exists to bridge the gap in mental health access for Myanmar migrants and refugees who face financial and cultural barriers to care. More specifically, we currently offer 3 free sessions per client. Any Myanmar migrant or refugee aged 18 or above can access our services. We are able to provide counseling in Burmese, English, Jingpo (Kachin), and Chin (Hakha & Falam). In the future, we aim to expand our services to include group counselling and community-based psychoeducation. Additionally, we hope to build partnerships with other international humanitarian organizations and expand counselor capacity.
