Where We Work

As many as 1 in 5 children globally struggle with mental health or learning challenges, yet many low and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not have a single child and adolescent psychiatrist.

Greece

Children and adolescents in Greece, like their peers around the world, face a troubling lack of access to mental health care. The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Initiative (CAMHI) seeks to address this by combining local and international expertise to empower frontline professionals and enhance care.

Brazil

In Brazil, significant gaps in mental health care mean that nearly 80 percent of children and adolescents with mental health conditions do not receive the support they need. We are working to reduce this gap by strengthening systems, training professionals, and adapting evidence-based tools to the Brazilian context.

South Africa

In South Africa, approximately 13 percent of adolescents aged 10 -19 have a diagnosed mental disorder, with anxiety and depression accounting for roughly 40 percent of these diagnoses. Amidst numerous other public health challenges, youth mental health challenges are often overlooked and underfunded. We are working with local organizations who are trying to bring critical training and support to this under-resourced sector.

Our Initiatives

The SNF Global Center pioneers new pathways in mental health care through six interconnected, science-backed initiatives.

Global Landscape Mapping

Mapping child and adolescent mental health resources, innovations, and needs worldwide to identify opportunities for maximum impact.

Multi-Cultural Adaptation, Implementation, and Training

Making evidence-based mental health training accessible worldwide and equipping professionals and local communities with culturally adapted tools to deliver quality care.

Innovations in Clinical Assessment and Intervention

Pioneering innovative technologies from concept to launch: We build and test digital solutions from mobile apps to advanced analytics – then deploy proven tools that make mental health care more accessible.

Public Awareness and Engagement

Sharing knowledge and resources to improve access to mental health data, combat stigma, and highlight the voices of youth with lived experiences to foster positive communities for young people and families affected by mental health conditions.

Global Fellowships

Creating innovative fellowship programs that empower diverse professionals to transform child and adolescent mental health care in their communities.

Expert Gatherings and Networking

Connecting diverse mental health leaders to share knowledge, spark innovation, and create powerful networks for change.
