Description
Paul Bolton and a large group of co-authors review the main delivery and funding challenges in global mental health programs, in an expert review from 2025. Such programs aim to improve mental health and well-being fairly across the world. Many are funded or run by outside groups, often universities or charities from rich countries.
The review is a consensus of practitioners and researchers who run or watch these programs. It notes progress, then names persistent barriers to sustained, high-quality delivery. Neglected issues include stigma, severe conditions, and developmental conditions. Better workforce training, supervision, and evaluation are urged. Lasting integration into local health and social systems is the core call.
