Under the leadership of former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, a long-standing champion for the rights of people with mental illnesses, the 顶级国产视频's Mental Health Program works to promote awareness about mental health issues, inform public policy, achieve equity for mental health care comparable to other health care, and reduce stigma and discrimination against those with mental illnesses. The Mental Health Program is seeking a graduate assistant (GA) to support activities across the program, including primarily efforts under the Global Behavioral Health (GBH) pillar. The GA may also support efforts in Public Policy (PP), and the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism (RCJF).
Project Scope:
The GBH team focuses on behavioral health systems strengthening in low- and middle-income countries. In over 15 years of work in Liberia, we have partnered with numerous stakeholders to build and promote sustainable, quality, and accessible behavioral health services. Our support has focused on developing a sustainable behavioral health workforce, strengthening laws and policies, enhancing social cohesion, and elevating the voices of those with lived experience. Over time, the Program has leveraged a stronger and growing mental health system in Liberia to drive integration of mental health and other global health and development priorities, including communicable diseases, primary health care, and peacebuilding. Now, the Program is growing its footprint to new contexts, including Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and Uganda.
As the portfolio of work grows, the GBH team is seeking a GA to assist the team by supporting project management and operational research in key workstreams. For instance, the program is focusing on efforts to integrate mental health services with systems of care for neglected tropical diseases and tuberculosis. The GA might support global research and scoping work, project-specific program management, data analysis, evaluation of programming, and grant-writing for new initiatives. Together with the supervisor, the GA may identify possibilities to leverage the assistantship for thesis needs and authorship opportunities.
