Global Mental Health

Global Mental Health is the field that addresses mental health and psychosocial wellbeing across countries and cultures, with particular attention to inequalities, the protection of human rights and the integration of diverse knowledge systems. ICEERS contributes to ongoing debates with proposals such as the Symmetrical Global Mental Health (Sym-GMH) paradigm, which gives equal standing to biomedical and traditional approaches, including Indigenous healing practices. This page gathers content on mental health from a global, cross-cultural and rights-based perspective.
