Maybe that's making peer support groups so that women, youth can all support each other.

So that's level two.

And then level three, now we're getting to the more focused type of supports.

These are for people who are experiencing more significant distress.

They may be overwhelmed.

They will need more structured support, but they're not necessarily needing psychiatric care at this point.

So at this level, we provide psychological first aid.

We teach them problem solving strategies.

We teach them how to manage their stress.

And these are often delivered by trained non-specialists.

And then lastly, the top level of this pyramid, sorry for this crash course, is the specialized services that we provide.

And these are for people who are actually experiencing major depression, PTSD, psychosis that require clinical intervention.

So at this point, we maybe have clinics, we have mobile clinics, and these clinics provide psychiatric care, medication management, or if they're not capable of doing those, they're at least capable of assessing these patients and then referring them to a higher level of care.

Just this huge pyramid recognizing that in these settings, you're not just targeting one level of trauma or one level of need, but you're targeting this whole layer, intricate interlayering need.

Yeah, for sure.

Culture really plays a huge role in mental health and it's not just psychosis, right?

And one thing that I want to bring up is that culture, mental health manifests in many different ways.

So cultural adaptation is absolutely essential in this work.

We can't apply just a one size fits all model.

For example, sometimes when we come into a community, we need to start with listening and understanding how communities describe distress, what coping mechanisms already exist and what support systems are trusted.
