Description

In this course - supported by the Global Health Axis and the Global Health Research Capacity Strengthening Program (GHR-CAPS) of the Quebec Population Health Research Network - participants will identify and assess collaborative and decolonizing approaches to community-based mental health and psychosocial interventions. We will engage with organizations and individuals working on the ground to deliver mental health and psychosocial programming. Topics to be covered include: engaging community stakeholders in program implementation; co-designing interventions with community partners; unpacking issues of power, position and ethics; culturally adapting program material for community fit; utilizing training models in program delivery and scale-up; and building program sustainability. The seminars in this course will be taught by community experts, using case examples from mental health preventative and intervention programs delivered globally.

Who should register?

This course is directed to an advanced group of participants from varied backgrounds in global health, mental health, public health and social sciences. It assumes that participants have some background in public health training or mental health training (equivalent to at least one undergraduate course) and/or lived experience in working in communities to deliver mental health programming.
