Addressing child mental health needs across cultures
Manage episode 436679730 series 3015718
Data on child and adolescent mental disorders across the globe are limited, but prevalence rates vary from 8 to 24%, with treatment gaps up to 99%.
In this breakout session, we will explore cultural aspects of child mental health across the globe. How helpful are our “western” diagnoses for children and adolescents in the Global South? Does autism, trauma, depression, etc. look the same across cultures? Are our therapeutic approaches relevant and sustainable? How do we build the capacity of local providers and encourage Christians to provide care and address stigma?
Session recorded on Friday, November 10th during Session Block #5 at 4:00 PM EST ; speaker: Heleen Yoder
