Bridging The Mental Health Gap: The Contribution Of Community Health Workers In Low-Resource Settings

by

Authors: MUNACHIMSO EMESOBUM, JOSEPHINE ESE, JATUAH, OLATUNDE, AWOLOLA, CHIDI, IGWEHCHIDI, IGWEH

This review explores how community health workers can help close mental health treatment gaps in underserved areas. The evidence shows that with good training and support, they can deliver effective care, improve access, and lower costs. To make these programs work at scale, health systems need to invest in strong training, supervision, funding, and clear links to existing services. The paper offers practical guidance for leaders looking to expand CHW-led mental health support.
