The PIH Cross-Site Mental Health Learning Collaborative: Capacity Building for Mental Health Care Delivery and Implementation

Mental health (MH) conditions know no geographic boundaries, but those boundaries are critically significant when it comes to accessing care. Over 5 billion people cannot access MH care, causing immense suffering. The failure to deliver effective MH care to over 80% of people who need it represents the single most significant challenge for global MH. This failure stems from two root causes: limited human resources equipped to provide MH care, and ineffective implementation within health systems.
