    Building The World's Mental Health Workforce

    Together we are striving to create a world where everyone has access to the mental health care they need

 

About EMPOWER

EMPOWER is a digital initiative under the Mental Health For All Lab focusing on building health system capacity for the prevention and care of mental health problems, across the life course, globally.

EMPOWER aims to scale-up evidence based psychosocial interventions for the prevention and care of mental health concerns by deploying a suite of digital tools and methods to build the capacity of a front-line workforce to deliver these interventions.

The front-line workers under training are accompanied through the process of learning, mastering and delivering evidence-based psychosocial interventions. EMPOWER also supports the use of emerging data to evaluate the impact of the scaling up and generate new knowledge on the effective components of psychological interventions.

I have served on the Advisory Board for EMPOWER since its inception. The development and implementation of EMPOWER are strongly aligned with APA’s 2022 policy on population health."
