The Global Mental Health and Stigma Program has received a generous donor gift—the Li Ka Shing Foundation Initiative for Global Mental Health and Wellness—to sponsor global mental health and stigma activities: NYU GPH Announces Li Ka Shing Foundation Initiative for Global Mental Health and Wellness | NYU School of Global Public Health. This gift supports faculty pilot grants, and MPH and Doctoral Fellowships to advance the study of global mental health and stigma worldwide.
This transdisciplinary team seeks to:
- Generate evidence to identify burden, determinants, and consequences of mental health globally, including in low and middle-income countries (LMIC);
- Provide training in Global Mental Health and Stigma at New York University and partner institutions; and,
- Disseminate and implement mental health evidence, interventions, and best practices to the United States and international communities.
We are joined by doctoral students in SBS. Our program hosts monthly seminars on a topic associated with global mental health and stigma, inviting national and international experts to lecture on a set of diverse topics. In addition to advancing publications and externally-funded research in global mental health, we seek to provide training opportunities to students to participate in ongoing projects sponsored by faculty members.
