Community Mental Health, Healing Systems, and Policy in the Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve

Catalog description

Mental health conditions are an increasing global concern but remain underprioritized in worldwide public health and policy, especially in low-resource and indigenous communities. This field-based course is offered at the Keystone Foundation in Nilgiris Biosphere Reserve in partnership with Cornell University. It explores mental health through an interdisciplinary lens, combining anthropology, global public health, policy, and community engagement.
