We were delighted to accompany @starscproject in London! Incredible investigation & work done to tackle mental problems & co-create sustainable solutions between academics & the community, for rural areas affected by the armed conflict. @UCLGlobalHealth@LSE_PBS@Uniandes 🇨🇴🇬🇧
What an honour to share the stage with some of the best activists for social justice out there - @ppvernon for Black mental health in the UK and @Fede_MontesC for peace and equality in Colombia. @starscproject is also building bridges that connect our global struggles.
Colombian community researchers teaching us how to expand science’s knowledge base with voice and lived expertise. Biggest lesson: mental health cannot be reduced to the individual; it needs social justice & citizenship for all @LSE_PBS@LSE_LACC@GobiernoUAndes@UCLGlobalHealth
