Without addressing mental health, there will be no end to the #HIV and #TB epidemics. That’s why I’ve signed @UnitedGMH’s Open Letter calling on the @GlobalFund to integrate mental health into its upcoming strategy. Join me: bit.ly/3joq8mk

Strengthening Mental Health in HIV Workshop: Moving from Policy to Routine. Panel discussion of experts in the #community. Very rich and informative. @StripeHiv @Afrehealth @perfect @IGHSatUCSF #CHIP_ZimHIV #IPE #UCSFGlobalHealth @TENDAI_program #HIV #mentalhealthmatters – at Harare, Zimbabwe
Thanks to all those squeezed into a packed room in Parliament today @AfricaAPPG to discuss how the @DFID_UK can respond and partner with #African institutions to improve #mentalhealth chaired brilliantly @BaronessBarker @DixonChibanda @friendshipbench @TENDAI_program @tdzuda
The Centre’s own @melanieabas shares her experiences with MH programming in Zimbabwe 1. Mental health disorders look & respond to similar approaches across countries 2. Research skills are highly valued in African countries & an avenue for providing targeted capacity #MHinafrica
Treating #depression in people living with #HIV found highly cost-effective (US$13 per DALY averted) in #Uganda - congratulations to researchers and to @MQmentalhealth and @gchallenges for funding @PeterASinger - results will feed into @TENDAI_program expansion in #Zimbabwe

So proud to be part of this African led solution to improving #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalhealth and #HIV outcomes - the TENDAI approach could be an ideal partner with @friendshipbench for those applying for #globalfund grants @AniShakari @sorrelkydd @DixonChibanda
The link between depression and HIV is especially critical in countries where people have poor access to mental health care.TENDAI (RCT) blends problem solving therapy for depression with evidence based adherence intervention-delivered by trained adherence counselors in Zimbabwe.

So important for @ProgrammeTendai to demonstrate scale up through primary care to address depression among #PLHIV and so poor adherence to ARVs, and contribute to 90-90-90-90. @AniShakari @ANJSeale @STOPAIDS @MarkMHPSS @UnitedGMH @gycaswell @SarahEKline
So excited to see @ProgrammeTendai team bringing training on #PositiveProblemSolving to primary care counsellors in #Zimbabwe so they can enhance recovery from #depression in their clients and improve #adherence to #HIV meds. #MindBodyThoughts #brainhealth @frontlineaids
