✓ Consultation:
The GW Center for Global Mental Health Equity is a cross-disciplinary research collective that examines the accessibility, efficacy, and scalability of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across the world.
In partnership with 25+ countries, we leverage best-practice community-based participatory approaches to catalyze the implementation of culturally relevant resources- such as validated mental health assessment tools, monitoring and evaluation strategies, and task-sharing interventions- that actively address the mental health treatment gap in these under-resourced settings.
With the end-user at the forefront of our work, we strive to make the vision of 'mental health care for all by all' a global reality.
Partners:
We collaborate with a diverse range of partners across the globe, including leading academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, international bodies like the World Health Organization and UNICEF, as well as advocacy groups led by individuals with lived experience in mental health.
