The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) is pleased to announce that Pure Mind Wellness, based in St. Ann, Jamaica, has been granted institutional accreditation. The decision follows review of the institution’s Accreditation Application Form and supporting self-evaluation, submitted by Dr. Juwell Harley, PhD, Head of Institution.
Pure Mind Wellness is a privately owned distance-learning provider formed on 27 February 2026. It is not a limited company. At the time of application the public website was not yet live; the institution stated that the site would be launched after accreditation. Instruction is delivered at a distance. The application specifies that the infection prevention and control course is offered through the website, and that mental health training may be offered through the website or by Zoom.
The stated mission is to provide evidence-informed education, training and wellness services that support mental, physical and emotional well-being, and to equip healthcare professionals, students, individuals and communities with knowledge and skills for informed health decisions. The stated vision is to become a centre for accessible health and wellness education. Teaching staff qualifications recorded on the form are PhD, MEd and BScN. Independent study resources named on the form include Zoom.
The self-evaluation describes learner-centred curriculum review, a mix of lectures, discussion, demonstration, case work, simulation and technology-supported activity, and assessment through examinations, assignments, presentations, practical tasks and other competency-based work. Faculty are expected to maintain professional competence through continuing education. Student support is described as advising, orientation, mentoring, consultation and guidance. The institution itself notes areas for further formalisation, including systematic curriculum review, documented faculty development, use of assessment data, and monitoring of student support.
QAHE’s decision is an institutional quality-assurance listing of Pure Mind Wellness as the named provider. It is not a licence to practise nursing or mental-health care in Jamaica or elsewhere. It does not replace registration with the Nursing Council of Jamaica, the University Council of Jamaica, or any other statutory body. It does not confer authority to award university degrees. It does not separately accredit each short course as a professional licence. Certificates issued by Pure Mind Wellness remain the institution’s own awards.
