Networking with African Mental Health Professionals
---------------------------------------------------

I am a psychiatrist and epidemiologist from Ghana currently working 
as a Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the Institute of Psychiatry, 
London. I am preparing to undertake a 2 year population based study 
of recent onset cases of schizophrenia in rural Ghana soon.

I would like to network with Mental Health Professionals working in 
or collaborating with researchers in Africa. I would be grateful if 
members could pass on to me postal and e-mail addresses of academic 
departments of psychiatry/behavioural sciences, academic psychia-
trists and psychologists, ministry of health psychiatrists and psy-
chologists, social workers, mental health/psychiatric nurses.

I have also been mandated to help distribute free of charge Neuropsy-
chiatry modules to academic departments of psychiatry in sub Saharan 
Africa. Further details of this workbook, videos, and reference book 
can be obtained from

or 
mailto:sarah.smith@iop.kcl.ac.uk

Thanks,
