Explore our behavioral and mental health projects around the world, including project overviews, policy briefs, published papers, and partners.
Africa
ethiopia
Partnering with the International Rescue Committee and funded by the Gates Foundation, we developed assessment tools to help with proper client identification and program evaluation, as well as trained community lay providers in CETA to help Somali refugee youth and families.
NAMIBIA
Partnering with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention- Namibia, we are working to build capacity for behavioral and mental health services for HIV-affected populations.
Zambia
With support from Department for International Development, the South African Medical Research Council, and our local partner the Serenity Harm Reduction Programme Zambia, we tested CETA as a strategy to reduce and prevent violence against women and girls, as well as reduce substance abuse in high-risk families. Since the trial’s success, our team has been working with the Center for Infectious Disease Research Zambia (CIDRZ), the Ministry of Health, the University of Zambia, the local CDC office, as well as the University Teaching Hospital and Education Development Center to scale-up and sustain CETA. A new study funded by NIH is now examining two implementation strategies (expert trainer vs. technology-based) for instructing local trainers who can bring CETA to scale across Zambia.
