I thought I was on vacation till Prof @KellyRoseClarke invited me to give a presentation with other Ph.D cohort at her department at @ucl. And, I loved it!
Such an insightful discussion with amazing GlobalHealth enthusiasts.

@psych_sujan is super excited to be starting his in-person attendance at his university with his supervisor @KellyRoseClarke. Thank you for having us at @ucl.
We have decided to have before-after Ph.D photo in front of this building! :)

What a nice coincidence that our Nepal research team @KripaSigdel and @rimal_pragya ran into another Nepal-focused researcher Brandon Kohrt @gmhequity on a walk in New York during @APApsychiatric conference!

We started PEN protocol training to CHWs (CHNs) of Chandragiri Municipality in coordination with @NSSD and @EDCD

@BibhavAcharya I believe 'Future Part' if my mentor is saying so 😃

[kripa sigdel @KripaSigdel]

Room full of Young and Early career researchers. It was nice to have a discussion full of passion and hopes!
Also, it was lovely connecting with some other young minds with similar interests.

Always a treat to hear from Vikram Patel and his team about scaling up psychological treatments by lay counselors in India and now in Texas!

And how fitting that he holds Paul Farmer's named professorship

So proud of you @DG_Nep di!
You absolutely deserve this for all the work you have been doing for years. ❤️

[Bibhav Acharya, MD @BibhavAcharya]

After years of feeling helpless, not knowing how to support women experiencing domestic violence but unable to divorce, we finally have promising results from a family-based intervention.
Looking forward to @NIMHgov @gchallenges @wellcometrust @iamhrf conference

[kripa sigdel @KripaSigdel]

Working on Mental Health is never enough! It was Universal right then, it is now, and it is going to be forever. Happy #worldmentalhealth day.

🌟Sound familiar?
👉"My kid never listens to me!"
👉"I can't get my patient to stop smoking"

There's an app for that!

Not really, but there is motivational interviewing:
✅Foster positive interactions, not fights
✅Boost their inner motivation, don't enforce
