Meeting information needs for mental health - addressing myths and stigma

12 January, 2017

HIFA (Healthcare Information For All) is seeking collaborators to explore how to increase the availability and use of reliable information on mental health, for the prevention and management of mental illness in low- and middle-income countries - and how to reduce misinformation, myth and stigma.

We have several eminent global mental health professionals among our members. In 2017 we aim to expand the depth and breadth of our discussions in this area. If you have an interest in global mental health, please join us.

HIFA Access to Health Research: From dialogue to action

19 December, 2016

The HIFA Access to Health Research working group is supporting a third thematic discussion here on HIFA from 19 December 2016 to 13 January 2017 around the following four questions:

1. How can research be made available in the right language, both for producers as well as consumers of health research?

2. How can we improve access to the full text of research papers?

3. How can we improve access to complementary and derivative publications (eg plain-language summaries, commentaries, policy briefs)?

Enablement

Enablement is specialised in Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) and Disability Inclusive Development (DID). Training, research and consultancy are at the heart of our work. We are a company that runs on a not-for-profit basis. Rather than measuring our success by financial profits, we prefer to measure the social impact of our actions for persons with disabilitie in predominantly lower and middle-income countries. We permanently try to bridge the gap between academic and government bodies and grassroots practitioners.
