There is little understanding and communication in many areas between East Africa and North America. Mental health programming is no exception, although similar factors—local beliefs, political philosophy, available manpower, economic strictures—largely determine program structure and services in both regions of the world. This paper describes certain program features in Tanzania, and suggests that in their simplicity they may have relevance for mental health practitioners in the Western world
