Invited lecture for the University of Arizona Global Health Speaker Series, presented
on January 19, 2023. The need for mental health services globally is unprecedented,
especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet most people in both high and
low-resource settings in need of mental health services go without, creating a mental
health “service gap.” The field of Global Mental Health is dedicated to closing that
gap. Today, Dr. Galea spoke about integrated HIV and mental health care in the context
of increasing access to evidence-based mental health services for all.
This podcast episode focuses on what participants learned from the January 28, 2022
èAV (USF) College of Public Health Activist Lab Bootcamp on
mental health advocacy and strategies for change. Guests: Dr. Jerome Galea, Assistant
Professor, School of Social Work, USF College of Behavioral and Community Sciences
who shares his expertise on mental health research and outreach and two Bootcamp participants,
Ivory Hayes and Jeanine Ashforth, who provide information on what their Bootcamp breakouts
groups recommended for changes in the community and with veterans related to mental
health, respectively. April 14, 2022.
