Harvard Medical School’s Global Mental Health Fund
Preventive healthcare doesn’t stop at physical health. Mental health is just as important, and we are proud to support Harvard Medical School’s Global Mental Health initiative to address disparities and curate an online curriculum to train mental health workers in the development of delivery of psychological therapies.
The Friends of Mewar Fund in Global Mental Health of $100,000 is the primary financial support for the initiative.
The fund has supported program activities like:
Community Events like interdisciplinary workshops, in-person research seminars, virtual webinar series, etc.
Student Research Assistant Program which provides vital funding and support to emerging young scholars at Harvard interested in pursuing research and academic careers in global mental health.
A Program Coordinator staff member for the initiative that is responsible for the administrative tasks, personnel management, event programming, multimedia communications, etc.
A part time Program Assistant to support events, community-building, and communications to echo and amplify global mental health efforts across and beyond Harvard.
A Program Manager, who will oversee the Program Assistant and work closely with faculty to lead the initiative, including the implementation of a novel postdoctoral fellowship in global mental health offered jointly by Harvard Medical School and Aga Khan University.
With your help we can continue to support mental health projects like this for many years to come!
