Where the science is already at work.

In May 2026, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at United States International University–Africa (USIU-Africa), through its Department of Psychology, will host Dr. Nathan Brown, Meridian’s founding Chair, as a visiting scholar. USIU-Africa is one of East Africa’s leading private universities, with accredited programs in psychology, counseling, and behavioral health.

USIU’s invitation to Dr. Brown frames this visit to Nairobi as the platform from which a deeper global collaboration may emerge, focused on research and evidence-based mental health neuro-based care, with the eventual aim of expanding neurotherapy training to practitioners across Kenya and the wider region. Neurotherapy is a new specialization here, and the host institution describes the training as filling a gap where conventional pharmaceutical and traditional therapeutic options are too often limited and inaccessible to much of the population.
