International mental health
Every person will have some experience of emotional distress, and every community recognises that there are those whose mental distress is so severe that they are unable to participate in daily life.
The recognition of mental distress is universal, but how it is expressed, how its causes are understood and what is considered to be appropriate help is culturally determined. All explanatory models for mental illness are embedded within, and cannot be separated from, the culture, language, and institutional and political processes of the culture of which they are a part.
In our increasingly globalising world it is more important than ever that different cultural understandings in relation to emotional distress are accepted and understood.
Teaching and workshops on international mental health can be designed and facilitated for all contexts – NGOs, higher education, schools of nursing/medicine – in the UK and worldwide.
