SNF Global Center
The Global Fellowships Program
About Our Program
The SNF Global Center Fellowships are aimed at identifying and supporting emerging leaders in child and adolescent mental health in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These fellowships offer life-changing opportunities and empower individuals to make a meaningful impact in their communities through research, clinical care, and communication.
The Need
- 90 percent of the world’s children live in LMICs, where access to mental health care is often limited.
- One in seven children and adolescents globally are affected by mental disorders.
- 75 percent of mental disorders in adults begin before age 18, underscoring the importance of early intervention.
- 80 percent of those diagnosed with a mental condition do not receive any form of treatment.
Our Fellowships
The SNF Global Center Research Fellowship is an extraordinary opportunity for early-career researchers at leading academic institutions in LMICs.
This fellowship, lasting 4 to 5 years, empowers innovative researchers committed to addressing local needs to advance the field of child and adolescent mental health.
The SNF Global Center Clinical Fellowship is designed for mental health professionals from LMICs who work in public healthcare systems but lack specialized training in child and adolescent mental health.
The program is co-led by the International Association of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP) and is designed to provide mentorship and leadership for practitioners as they deepen their skills and continue practice post-fellowship. This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to build essential skills and expertise while addressing critical gaps in CAMH services in LMICs.
The SNF Global Center Communicator Fellowship is for professionals working in public communications—including traditional and digital media—who are based in LMICs.
This fellowship equips communicators with the resources and expertise needed to raise awareness and promote understanding of child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) in their communities.
