Global Mental Health Projekte

Der Global Health Hub des Deutschen Zentrums für Psychische Gesundheit vernetzt alle internationalen Projekte. Das Ziel ist es, von den Erfahrungen im globalen Süden zu lernen, wie soziale und humanitäre Ansätze in den jeweiligen Gemeinden verankert werden können. Zudem soll der Austausch von Betroffenen, Angehörigen sowie Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern gefördert werden. Koordiniert wird der Global Health Hub von Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Heinz (Standort Tübingen) und Prof. Dr. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg (Standort Mannheim-Heidelberg-Ulm).
