Mental Health Policies in Indonesia Today: Enormous Challenges, Emerging Possibilities
Please join us for the first session in the Indonesia Seminar Series this semester with a presentation by Professors Byron Good and Mary-Jo DelVecchio Good from the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School. The Goods will review the enormous challenges of building mental health services in Indonesia, reflecting on nearly 20 years of research and implementation studies related to mental illness and mental health care. History of mental health policies and new efforts to build services in extremely low resource settings will be discussed, placing these efforts in regional context. Special attention will be given to internationally-supported projects to develop new models of care in post-tsunami, post-conflict Aceh, and projects currently underway in Yogyakarta and Aceh with support of a USAID program that facilitates collaboration between Harvard Medical School and two Indonesian universities.
