- Our team is dedicated to engaging Zimbabwean researchers, advocates, and mental health workers to work on ideas that will improve mental health services. We teach courses at the University of Zimbabwe and mentor students and healthcare workers at varying levels of training. Finally, we provide consultancy support for Zimbabwean researchers and policymakers on grant writing, research methods, and data dissemination.
