Last week, SMMHEP presented their study examining the impact of the Malawi Mental Health Guide on frontline mental health workers in Malawi. This collaboration between key stakeholders in mental health in Malawi has resulted in the Mental Health Guide being distributed to 400 health centres around Malawi, with information on the assessment and management of mental health conditions in Malawi. It has also led to the development of a free mobile application that has been downloaded nearly 1000 times. Dr Mullin, a co-editor of the Malawi Mental Health Guide, presented the study on behalf of the wider author group at the largest gathering of Psychiatrists in the UK – the Royal College of Psychiatrists International Congress 2024.
