Interesting study to consider for commissioning as we develop our asset based community development framework for South Glos.

Victorian Transcultural Mental Health are holding a Seminar on community-led responses to Racism. "This presentation has two main aims. First, it explains the projects that we have contributed to, detailing the work accomplished by communities and the issues encountered there. Second, it offers a practical discussion about how similar anti-racism support networks and services can be developed and implemented, in close collaboration with local communities and other stakeholders, in municipalities across Victoria and beyond – led by municipal councils or other key local organisations." https://lnkd.in/g8EvJthg

Today is the time for updates on the integration of mental health into the primary healthcare level. We started really small, with the MH4U Project GFA Consulting Group GmbH and the World Health Organization Ukraine rolling out mhGAP IG 2.0 training starting in 2020. We relied only on the GP's motivation; they didn`t receive even official CPD certificates. However, up to 300 professionals were trained, some data were collected, and precedent was established. In 2022, a huge number of partners joined together to scale up this education at the national level, alongside the development of the complex online course on mhGAP. In parallel, we created the NHSU Service Package for mental health support in primary healthcare. It described the volume of services, the specifications, etc. Those facilities with at least 20% of GPs trained in mhGAP could be contracted, and GPs received financial incentives for providing mental health support to their patients. In 2023, we already had 8,622 GPs trained and actively providing support. In 2024 - we have 12,624 of them. And now, we are entering a new stage - full integration. The special MH Service Package for GPs is now fully merged with a general service package. Therefore, mental health support delivery will become not an option but an obligation for our family doctors. And I think they are ready for this task! https://lnkd.in/egSXSQj8

🎉 Excited to share most awaited publication! 📖✨ Huge congratulation to Gayatri Khanal sis and thank you so much for the opportunity to contribute on this paper. 🌏 The first-ever meta-synthesis of qualitative studies on barriers to accessing Mental Health Services (MHS) in SAARC nations has just been published! 🔍 Key Findings of our paper explains that Patients face complex, interlinked, multilevel barriers that widen the treatment gap. A novel multilevel framework has been developed to enhance clarity and organization of these challenges. Addressing these barriers requires multilevel solutions targeting individual, organizational, societal, and structural obstacles across the care pathway. 💡 The study highlights the urgent need for more research on access to MHS and effective interventions. Together, let’s pave the way for equitable and inclusive mental health care 🌟 Here is the link of full text.
