Global mental health and psychosocial support programming
The global mental health (GMH) field aims to equitably improve mental health and well-being everywhere. This article reviews persistent common challenges hindering sustained, high-quality delivery of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Our focus is on programming that is funded or implemented by external organizations, typically universities or international non-governmental organizations from high-income countries. It is a consensus …
Impact of treatment attendance on mental health outcomes within task-shared psychological treatments
Task-shared psychological treatments play a critical role in addressing the global mental health treatment gap, yet their integration into routine care requires further study. This study evaluated the causal association between an implementation factor of a task-shared psychological treatment and participant outcomes to strengthen the implementation-to-outcome link within global mental health. This secondary analysis utilized cohort data from the…
Interdisciplinary perspectives on digital technologies for global mental health
Digital Mental Health Technologies (DMHTs) have the potential to close treatment gaps in settings where mental healthcare is scarce or even inaccessible. For this, DMHTs need to be affordable, evidence-based, justice-oriented, user-friendly, and embedded in a functioning digital infrastructure. This viewpoint discusses areas crucial for future developments of DMHTs. Drawing back on interdisciplinary scholarship, questions of health equity, consum…
Piloting a psychosocial intervention for perinatal depression, the Thinking Healthy Programme–Peer delivered (THPP), in a primary care setting in Lilongwe District, Malawi
Despite the evidence for the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for perinatal depression, their uptake is low in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Reasons for this include the lack of contextually adapted interventions and mental health specialists to deliver them. This study aimed to test the acceptability and feasibility of a psychosocial intervention for perinatal depression, the Thinking Healthy Programme–Peer Delivered , adapted for…
Implementing supportive supervision in acute humanitarian emergencies
Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) practitioners working in humanitarian contexts are at significant risk of mental health conditions, ultimately hindering the quality and sustainability of their work. Supportive supervision has shown to be effective in improving the wellbeing of MHPSS staff and volunteers and enhancing the effectiveness of MHPSS service delivery. Despite these proven benefits, there is a lack of standardised guidelin…
Social support and user engagement with task-shared psychological treatments in the real world
Task sharing in psychological treatments has been recognized as an effective strategy for bridging the global mental health treatment gap. However, more research is needed to better support its implementation in routine care. Mental health services users' engagement with treatment is a crucial implementation factor, yet empirical evidence on its determinants remains sparse. The current study aims to investigate social support as a predictor of us…
Spatializing stigma-power
In disadvantaged neighborhoods such as informal settlements (or “slums” in the Indian context), infrastructural deficits and social conditions have been associated with residents’ poor mental health. Within social determinants of health framework, spatial stigma, or negative portrayal and stereotyping of particular neighborhoods, has been identified as a contributor to health deficits, but remains under-examined in public health research and may …
Utility of a multidimensional recovery framework in understanding lived experiences of Chilean and Brazilian mental health service users
La comprensión y aplicación del concepto de recuperación, a pesar de sus posibles beneficios para los servicios de salud mental, aún se encuentra en incipiente desarrollo en América Latina. Si bien la reforma psiquiátrica en la región ha tenido algunos avances, el marco de la recuperación no ha sido suficientemente explorado. Whitley y Drake (2010) sugirieron un marco conceptual integral para la recuperación que incluye cinco dimensiones: clínica…
Implementation of a pilot community-based psychosocial intervention for patients with psychoses in Chile and Brazil
CTI-TS' major adaptations were informed by the distinct mental health systems and social context of Santiago and Rio. Evaluation of user experiences with these adaptations provides insights into implementing and scaling-up task-shifting and community-oriented interventions in the region through the creation of specialized roles for the worker pair, targeting sustained intervention effects, and addressing socio-cultural barriers
Understanding Users’ Perspectives of Psychosocial Mechanisms Underpinning Peer Support Work in Chile
State-Level Income Inequality and County-Level Social Capital in Relation to Individual-Level Depression in Middle-Aged Adults
In the US, the incidence of depression and suicide have followed escalating trends over the past several years. These trends call for greater efforts towards identifying their underlying drivers and finding effective prevention strategies and treatments. One social determinant of health that plausibly influences the risk of depression is income inequality, the gap between the rich and poor. However, research on this association is still sparse. W…
Including culture in programs to reduce stigma toward people with mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries
Stigma is one of the main barriers for the full implementation of mental health services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Recently, many initiatives to reduce stigma have been launched in these settings. Nevertheless, the extent to which these interventions are effective and culturally sensitive remains largely unknown. The present review addresses these two issues by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of interventions to reduce st…
Implementing a community-based task-shifting psychosocial intervention for individuals with psychosis in Chile
BACKGROUND: Latin America, and Chile in particular, has a rich tradition of community mental health services and programs. However, in vivo community-based psychosocial interventions, especially those with a recovery-oriented approach, remain scarce in the region. Between 2014 and 2015, a Critical Time Intervention-Task Shifting project (CTI-TS) was implemented in Santiago, Chile, as part of a larger pilot randomized control trial. CTI is a time-…
