About this trial
This project will strengthen local capacity for mental health care in high-need settings in Colombia by culturally and linguistically adapting the Self-Help+ intervention and delivering participatory, supervised training. Local community leaders will be trained to implement Self Help+ for their own well-being and to train others in their communities. The project will deliver a structured program with hands-on practice, ongoing technical support, and participatory evaluation of psychosocial outcomes and sustainability.
