Jacqueline Richards, MS, ’25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jacqueline Richards, will be presenting her co-authored paper, “The Effectiveness of Community-based Mental Health Interventions Involving Lay Health Promoters: A Scoping Review” with co-author Dr. Jody Early at the Society for Public Health Education’s annual conference in April. Richards and Early examined the effectiveness and limitations of lay-delivered community mental health promotion interventions globally. While common in other parts of the world, community-engaged mental health promotion interventions are less common in the U.S. The results of their review provide strong evidence that mental health interventions involving lay health promoters are not only cost effective, but support  improved health outcomes,  particularly for addressing depression,  anxiety, and first psychosis.  This paper provides a strong case for the development of community care models in the U.S. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
