The purpose of Arukah is to provide client-centered, accessible health and counseling services to foster prevention wellness, and mental health in rural communities. Arukah’s methods involve a variety of approaches including novel video-based programs, mind-body therapies as well as more conventional individual and group therapies. We journey with the clients long-term and help them build a healthy view of self as well as healthy relationships with others. Our methods are data-driven and validated by our research program.
