Enhancing mental health pre-service training with the WHO mhGAP Intervention Guide: experiences learned and the way forward.

There is currently a high global demand for mental health professionals, including child and adolescent mental health professionals. In 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) published "Enhancing mental health pre-service training with the mhGAP-Intervention Guide: experiences and lessons learned" to address the proposition of implementing Mental Health Gap Action Programme Intervention Guide (mhGAP-IG) materials and principles as a component of pre-service training. By integrating the mhGAP-IG within pre-service training, future healthcare providers will acquire theoretical knowledge and early exposure to practical knowledge and will be better prepared for their future work.
