Wednesday, April 17 at 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Warren Hall, Room 209 |
Global Mental Health@Columbia University
The GMHP@Columbia is an interdisciplinary program that aims to be a world leader in global mental health by pioneering initiatives that promote mental health and reduce the burden of mental illness worldwide. To this end, the GMHP@Columbia is committed to education, training, advocacy, clinical and research capacity-building in low income communities around the world. The program has partnered with the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as academic centers in countries including Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and Nigeria. In addition, we aim to grow our internet-based global network of mental health practitioners to assist with internet-based studies, from 4,000 to 10,000 members worldwide.
Session Questions: How can GMHP@Columbia leverage its large and diverse research consortium, and online network of practitioners, to generate revenue for its programs? Can its partnership with WHO generate educational and commercial publication opportunities? What existing business models could be applied to this project? Are there types of business partnerships that could benefit both WHO and the GMHP@Columbia in order to advance their global work in mental health?
