About this degree

The global mental health crisis is one of the defining features of our time affecting low-resource settings. As the prevalence of mental health conditions grows, we need to accelerate services and support to help people manage these problems across the world, in ways that meaningfully engage those most at risk, and directly affected. Never before has there been such an acute need for mental health researchers, policy makers and practitioners.

This course combines a modern critical lens with established training in global mental health frameworks, including an emphasis on understanding epidemiological disease profiles and community engaged work to translate interventions as part of efforts in scaling up access to mental health care.

Recent advances in the field highlight the need to address social and structural drivers of mental health in low- and high-income countries alike. Students will learn tools necessary for working with complex communities across cultures and power levels in respectful ways, centering on empowerment and equity.
