Objective
This course has been designed to equip participants in the methods to develop and scale up interventions for people with mental disorders in communities, based on a population model (i.e. to achieve maximum coverage in an administrative unit such as a district). The course is designed to build capacity to meet the goals of the Movement for Global Mental Health (www.globalmentalhealth.org)
The course was initiated in 2008; watch this short video on the experiences of participants in the 2008 course.
Who is the course for?
