Cross-Cutting Platform 4: Training and Capacity Building

High fidelity training which provides consistent and coherent approaches to an understanding of mental health remain absent in the wider provision of public health training.

The objective of this cross-cutting platform is to develop an interdisciplinary training programme spanning public health, local government, policy, data sciences, population mental health, and lived experience, to support the development of the next generation of leaders in population mental health.

Drawing on wide-ranging interdisciplinary expertise across the Population Mental Health Consortium, we will tackle this challenge by developing a unique and tailored education and training programme in population mental health.

Training will support a range of target audiences, including non-academic partners and public health practitioners, university academics, clinicians, early career researchers, and peer-researchers. We will develop a bespoke programme tailored to meet the needs of the wide range of target groups, to develop knowledge, skills, and understanding around key issues in the field of population mental health.
