Course Summary

The course focuses on the current challenges, policy debates and skillsets required for global responses aiming to improve the mental health and psychosocial well-being of populations affected by poverty, instability, displacement, and conflict. This course is part of a broader Global and Public Health Framework. It combines our comprehensive global health foundation with a specific focus in MHPSS. The course will be particularly attractive to those working in humanitarian settings, health practitioners, and community and development workers, who are looking to further their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in order to consolidate and extend their learning in the area of how to incorporate community-based MHPSS strategies and consideration into other health and humanitarian provision through mainstreaming. It will equip you to work effectively at senior level to promote mental health and psychosocial wellbeing of people through effective and responsive programming.

In addition to the shared modules that all IGHD Masters students take in the September term, you’ll take two pathway-specific modules (Community-Based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support & Project Design and Management) that bring these MHPSS issues to life.
