Description
Speaker: Dr. Vikram Patel
Abstract
The large and unequally distributed unmet needs for care for mental health problems have been worsened by the pandemic. Pouring more money into the existing inefficient and ineffective mental health care system will not shift the needle on this crisis. This presentation will describe how empowering members of the community to deliver evidence based psychosocial interventions could transform our mental health care system.
