MBI was formed in 2019 when Grassroots International joined forces with the Martín-Baró Fund for Mental Health and Human Rights. This effort honored the legacy of Ignacio Martín-Baró, a social psychologist and Jesuit priest committed to human rights, collective healing, and liberation. Ignacio worked closely with those affected by the armed conflicts raging in his adopted country of El Salvador and throughout Central America throughout the 1980s. He challenged his colleagues to liberate psychology from oppressive paradigms coming out of the US and Europe. In 1989, Ignacio was among eight people murdered at the Central American University in San Salvador.
We are committed to keeping Ignacio’s legacy alive. His pioneering work continues to inform how we understand the intersections of healing and social justice and equity today, and his assassination reminds us of the necessity of supporting human rights defenders and protecting them in the face of ongoing attacks. Additionally, this initiative in Ignacio’s memory connects to a broader commitment of Grassroots International to support healing justice as a form of political resistance and self-determination.

Martín-Baró was: a prominent scholar who studied in Europe, the United States, and Latin America; a prolific writer of numerous books and more than 100 articles; and a gifted speaker. Working and living among the Salvadoran people, he dedicated his life to the cause of human rights, equality, and social justice in El Salvador. Recognizing the devastating impact of U.S. policy toward his adopted country, he visited and spoke to many U.S. organizations, stressing our obligation to speak out against U.S. collusion with the Salvadoran oligarchy and military. He had a profound influence on a wide range of academics ,and activists in the United States and beyond.
Through his advocacy, research, and rehabilitation programs, Martín-Baró worked to heal the individual and collective scars of war and oppression. Shortly before his death, he had made plans to open a polyclinic to serve children and adult survivors of torture and war. In addition to his solidarity with the people of El Salvador, Martín-Baró was also a central figure in efforts to establish an international network of individuals and organizations working at the intersections of human rights and mental health.
