‘Idioms of Distress: Well-being and Mental Resilience in Displaced Peoples, Refugee Populations and Global Mental Health’
Professor Alison Phipps
University of Glasgow
Thursday 28 November 2019, 5.15pm
Castle 1 Lecture Theatre, University of Otago
Please join us for the final talk of the 2019 De Carle Distinguished Lecture Series, co-hosted with the Centre for International Health, the Dunedin School of Medicine, and the Otago Medical School.
This lecture will present work from four contexts internationally where psychotherapeutic access to trauma services is non-existent but other resources are marshalled by affected populations – Ghana, Gaza, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Focusing on migratory languages and arts, it demonstrates how global mental health frameworks may be expanded.
