Supervision of Task-Shared Mental Health Care in Low-Resource Settings: A Commentary on Programmatic Experience

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Task-shared mental health care programs in low-resource settings often incorporate supervisory structures that would be difficult to implement at scale, and many rely on foreign specialist experts as supervisors. Future programs could leverage peer supervision, technology, competency assessments/fidelity checklists, and other tools. Mental health care specialists will require training, support, and incentives to supervise generalist care providers.
