The GMHP provides master’s level courses in global mental health, supports various global practica opportunities for early-career researchers, hosts monthly Global Mental Health Seminars at Columbia University, and offers fellowship positions, including the Global Mental Health Scholars Program and the T32 Research Fellowship. The Columbia GMHP also collaborates with many global health organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Mental Health Foundation, in order to conduct research and expand knowledge that will help guide global endeavors to advocate for mental health.
We work with the WHO to host the Global Clinical Practice Network, which engages over 13,000 mental health professionals from around the world in research related to mental illness diagnoses, particularly the ICD-11. The GMHP at Columbia University uses the arts and social media as a tool to advocate, educate, understand, and raise awareness about mental illness with the goal of connecting across cultures to reduce societal stigma.
Our Artist-In-Residence program supports individuals whose work powerfully and passionately integrates mental health themes into their artistic careers.
Five On Friday, the weekly GMHP blog written by Director Kathleen M. Pike, brings global mental health topics to the forefront of our daily conversations and breaks the silence often associated with mental illness.
