The HAPPINESS Project
The HAPPINESS Project is focused on increasing access to evidence-based treatments for mental, neurological and substance use disorders in Nigeria by adapting the World Health Organization (WHO)’s Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) Intervention Guide in primary care settings. It is a collaborative project supported by the Yale Global Mental Health Program, the local academic institutions and the local government agencies. The HAPPINESS Project provides training, ongoing clinical support and refresher trainings for primary care teams in participating states.
Our team is open to further support and collaboration from all members of the Yale community including faculty, trainees and staff in the areas of training, research and funding.
The Project Lead is Theddeus Iheanacho, MD. Please send an email to theddeus.iheanacho@yale.edu for more information or to get involved.
