This course will focus on how to design mental health interventions to meet the unique needs of populations living in low-resource settings (such as low and middle-income countries, conflict-affected areas, and marginalized communities within high-income countries). It will explore existing global mental health intervention models and methods for adapting interventions to fit the culture, context, and idioms of distress in these settings. Students will gain tools to adapt interventions and examine the socio-cultural factors and systems issues that impact the implementation, delivery, and sustainability of mental health interventions in low-resource settings. Coursework will approach adaptation from the lens of capacity building while also considering challenges of equity and cultural sensitivity.
