Global Mental Health
Johns ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ boasts cutting edge innovation in the field of global mental health. Our global mental health program, housed within the department of Mental Health, takes a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to create actionable solutions to the promotion of mental health, and the prevention and treatment of mental health and psychosocial problems in low-resource contexts around the world.
Our faculty, staff and students have been at the forefront of developing, improving, and disseminating mental health and psychosocial support services in low-resource settings. Our global projects, based in more than 20 countries across five continents, focus on field-based methods to assess and then meet the mental health needs of distressed communities with few or no professional mental health resources.
Our Work in Action
