The first ever USAID Mental Health Position Paper has just been released!!! USAID has been supporting mental health initiatives for many years; however, with this paper, the Agency is elevating its commitment to advance mental health around the world. This is a big deal! I joined after the meticulous hard work behind this paper was already finished by Paul Bolton, Teresa Parr, Kathleen O'Donnell Burrows, Lyla Schwartz, and many, many others. But I am both thrilled and honored to be here now in this watershed moment! Also sending a shout out to Jerome Galea, the new Mental Health Coordinator who is leading the USAID Mental Health Team forward. It is a proud moment for us all! #globalmentalheath #MentalHealth #MHPSS #USAID #MentalHealthMatters #SustainableDevelopment #InclusiveDevelopment #localization
