Anyways - enjoy!
Welcome! This blog has been created to introduce you to mental health issues around the world, many of which are unique to particular cultures. While most of you already have some knowledge about mental health, I encourage you to read some of the articles, watch some of the videos, and think about some of the dilemmas presented here. The consequences of mental illness for the sufferer, their family, and society are staggering when left untreated.

Art Therapy Among Refugees in Uganda
While procrastinating today, I became interested in mental health initiatives for refugees and came across this video on youtube. While on the one hand, I think that this program is fantastic, I would also like to assume a critical eye for a moment to ask whether this is a quick fix, something unsustainable? I'd be curious to learn more about programs like this and to see the long term benefits, as well as to see the psychotherapy that happens behind these scenes.
