Abstract:

Psychological interventions play a vital role in mental health response around the world. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) recognises the importance of these interventions in addressing various mental health challenges globally, in particular by using task-sharing approaches, where trained and supervised non-specialists deliver evidence-based interventions.

This presentation will provide an overview of the work of W.H.O. in this area. This includes updated recommendations, the W.H.O. Psychological Intervention Implementation Manual, (that supports delivery of non-specialist interventions) and various evidence based psychological interventions that are open access, available in multiple languages and are designed for use in a range of settings. It will provide examples how these interventions are being used in different settings.

Presenter Biography:

Dr Ken Carswell has a background in clinical psychology in the UK and is a Mental Health Specialist with the W.H.O. Department of Mental Health, Brain Health and Substance Use in Geneva. He is the departmental focal point for innovation, digital mental health and scalable psychological interventions.

He has been centrally involved in the development, testing, and implementation of W.H.O. scalable psychological interventions for populations affected by adversity. These include Self-Help Plus, a multi-media stress management course and Step-by-Step, an online self-help intervention for depression, which is available as a free service across Lebanon. Most recently he has led the development of a guided self-help chatbot for adolescents and youth called STARS, which is currently being tested in randomised controlled trials in Jordan and Lithuania.

About the Moderator:

Dr. Lata McGinn, President of WCCBT, will make introductory comments and introduce Speaker(s) and will monitor and moderate Q&A.
