Developed under the MGH Division of Public and Community Psychiatry, the MGH Chester M. Pierce, MD Division of Global Psychiatry , and McLean Hospital, the mission of the Community and Global Psychiatry Program (CGPP) is to inspire and support trainees interested in community and global mental health in the areas of service delivery, capacity building, education, research, and leadership, both domestically and internationally. We are focused on promoting and supporting trainees in developing a foundational understanding of the fields of community and global mental health, gaining the knowledge and skills to pursue community and/or global work in residency and their future careers, and the ability to incorporate these skills and understanding into their daily work both during training and beyond. We are invested in supporting the development of future leaders in psychiatry who apply a socioculturally sensitive lens to address health disparities and improve mental health access and equity of care domestically and globally.
