The increasing focus on mental health across the globe calls for
guidance on how mental disorders manifest across different cultures
and suggests the best practice models for addressing these issues
from a cultural context. Additionally, in countries with limited
resources and increased susceptibility to natural disasters, the
call is even more urgent. In addition to poverty and limited
resources, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are most
vulnerable to disasters, which make the need for culturally
sensitive and sustainable mental health programs even greater. This
monograph provides a framework for how to address mental health
issues internationally in collaboration with local partners to
create sustainable programs. Specifically, this monograph provides
didactic and practical examples using a mental health-training
program that has been implemented in Haiti for the past 20 years.
Successes and challenges, as well as lessons learned and
recommendations for other practitioners and researchers, are
provided. This monograph is a guidebook focusing on how to
implement mental health training programs internationally. The
authors aim is to structure the book in a way that will use Haiti
as an example of what scholars who are interested in global mental
health can do to effectively implement a training program
internationally. This monograph includes didactic as well as
detailed practical examples with illustrations of the mental health
training program in Haiti for the past two decades. The monograph
highlights the guiding principles that we have used as a framework
for the authors research. They are: (1) In-Country Partnership, (2)
Enhancing Cultural Knowledge, (3) Building a Culturally Competent
Team, (4) Creating a Culturally Relevant Curriculum, and (5)
Building Capacity. The authors' show the reader how to use the
framework and approaches with any subject and country. The intended
audiences for the monograph are practitioners, academics,
researchers, human service providers, program administrators,
public health advocates, policymakers, community leaders,
undergraduate and graduate students, non-profit and grassroots
organizations, and state and international agencies with an
interest in developing, implementing, and evaluating
culturally-appropriate mental health training programs for use in
international settings. Given the increased number of individuals
immigrating to the United States and the diverse demographic
make-up of the country, the information presented in this monograph
can be useful nationally to individuals who are interested in
learning about ways to make mental health programs more culturally
appropriate to ethnically diverse clients.
