Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery Certificate Program

The Global Mental Health: Trauma and Recovery Certificate Training Program, GMH, is in its 15th, year. GMH is designed to offer scientific and culturally valid principles and practices in the care of traumatized persons, families, and communities world-wide. The GMH program was implemented in response to a call for training in mental health capacity building by Ministers of Health of 38 countries during a historic meeting in Rome in December 2004. Advances in the neurosciences, psychosocial interventions, and community development will be offered. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, racial trauma, and climate change will be addressed. Overall, the course will focus on leadership development in the mental health and humanitarian fields. The course will be taught by a distinguished culturally diverse multi-disciplinary faculty. Upon successful completion, participants will receive continuing medical education credits from Harvard Medical School and a certification of successful completion from the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma. In addition, upon completion, participants will join over 950 alumni working in 85 countries.
