Global Mental Health Training in the Rollins School of Public Health’s Certificate in Public Mental Health Public

Abstract

Global Mental Health (GMH) training is a timely and relevant topic in public health today. The goal of this project was to get an idea of the overall coverage of GMH classes in the Certificate in Public Mental Health at Emory University’s Rollins School of Public Health (RSPH) to gauge where there may be overall thematic content gaps and to create a deliverable to address a possible need for further training within the certificate. A comparative analysis was used review information from four institutions of higher learning in the United States, all of which focused on mental health, in order to assess GMH content and gaps in coverage. The result was that more course content could be added to address gaps in GMH training and practice. This project produced a tentative class description with a tentative class title as a deliverable through this special study. The deliverable supports more comprehensive training in GMH, which might lead to a lower burden of mental illness globally.
