This presentation will describe the current global situation with respect to mental health needs and services with a focus on low-income countries. Discussion will include how descriptions of mental health vary across populations and cultures; the need not only to address mental health for its own sake but also its impact on the effectiveness of humanitarian and development programming generally; and consequently, the need to integrate mental health into these programs. Paul Bolton is a senior scientist in the Department of Mental Health and the Center for Humanitarian Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. For more than three decades, he has worked at the leading edge of the field of global mental health, focusing on program design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. He has conducted research across several global settings including North America, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, Central and Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean. Much of this work has been with refugees and internally displaced persons in post-conflict and post-disaster contexts, as well as other adults and children living in difficult circumstances. Bolton has contributed to the development of layperson-delivered psychosocial interventions, including several randomized trials of these interventions in Africa and Asia.
