Mainstreaming Global Mental Health
A Praxis Nexus Approach (June 2019 – November 2021)
Project Purpose
Our ambition is to trigger a step-change in how the research community thinks about where, how and by whom mental health in low and middle income countries can be impacted to benefit people experiencing poor mental health. Specifically, we believe there is untapped potential for global researchers to impact mental health whilst delivering their core (non-mental health) project aims, and that this can be done without significant resource implications.
Project Objectives
- Complete a scoping review of (i) material practices and (ii) implicit and explicit mental health activities in non-mental health focused GCRF projects funded to date;
- Complete a report outlining the basis for a Global Mental Health Impact Framework around collaborative material practices;
- Develop and strengthen equitable international academic, policy and practitioner partnerships and build capacity in LMIC and the UK;
- Use this work to assist in developing the agenda and programmes of on-going work.
