Hi -TFT interest group,

You may be aware that this is World Mental Health week. Well, I recently completed a film to be shown online as a break-out session at The Academy of Integrative Medicine and Health Conference later this year in San Diego which can also be attended online. And it’s just on that subject!!

The break-out session is on using TFT to help close the mental health treatment gap in low-and middle-income countries. It goes without saying it could be used in high income countries as well.

Please don’t share, as this is a “sneak preview” :>) it is yet to be shown at the Conference. This breakout is based on the literature review and meta-analysis I lead along with an international team that was published in the August 2021 issue of the World Health Organization.

Here is the link to the article published by the WHO: (copy and paste in browser)

Here is the video of the break-out session. It contains some footage of Rwandan lay counselors speaking of their experiences. It’s a 43 minute video.

 

Working hard to bring mental health to all,

Suzanne
