The humanity of global mental health efforts may count as much as the psychiatry. The African heat had finally lifted a finger from around the neck of the day, ...

Time after time we have been introduced this week as a program that stands out from others that have come and gone and that collaborates with rather than dictates to local partners like the Ministry of Health and the Carter Center.

As the head of our program in global mental health, I am overdue here, having been a neglectful parent to this partnership. The African heat had finally lifted a finger from around the neck of the day, and I leapt out of the hotel like a skydiver out of an airplane and into the early evening air.
