Mental health care

Child psychiatry in Hôpital Neuropsychiatrique Caraes, Ndera, Rwanda

When thinking about health challenges in low-income countries, diseases like tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other tropical diseases quickly come to mind, but few think of mental health. In fact, according to the WHO, three-quarters of those afflicted with mental disorders live in developing countries. Mental disorders are a leading cause of disability globally and represent 14 per cent of the global burden of disease. Despite the enormous health burden, it remains one of the most neglected illnesses. Research by the American Institute of Medicine (IOM) shows growing levels of mental health disorders particularly in developing countries. Violence, human rights abuses, poverty, gender inequality and low levels of education all exacerbate mental health problems. In many societies it remains a taboo to discuss it openly. More info

Fracarita International manages to restore the human dignity of thousands of men, women and children by providing mental health care in 34 psychiatric facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America.

OUR MISSION AND VISION

AIM is bridging the gap between research and access to care for youth struggling with their mental health by finding, funding, and implementing evidence-based treatments, empowering youth to discover their own mental health solutions, and training caring adults to create a safe holding place for youth in crisis.

AIM’s world-class Scientific Advisory Board guides our investments by evaluating  strategies for implementing evidence-based treatments with the greatest promise for healing the mental illness of children, teens and young adults.

Our vision is simple: We AIM for a world of mentally healthy youth.

THE WORK WE DO

THE RESEARCH WE FUND

With our world-class Scientific Advisory Board, we screen research from around the world, looking for work with the greatest promise of making a difference now. Here are some of the leading researchers whose work we’ve recently funded:

AIM-funded Harvard Research on Frequent Aggressive, Disruptive Behavior in Children

AIM Clinical Science Fellow Dr. Spencer Evans is working to help children with severe irritability and aggressive, disruptive behavior.

AIM-funded Emory Research on Eating Disorders and Obesity Among African American and Latinx Youth

AIM Clinical Science Fellow Dr. Joya Hampton-Anderson studies the role of stress, anxiety, and parental influences in determining eating behaviors.

AIM-funded Hofstra Research on Children at Risk for Serious Mental Illness

AIM Scientific Advisory Board member Dr. Barbara Cornblatt is working with teens at high risk for developing schizophrenia and psychosis.

THE DIFFERENCE WE MAKE

At our 2019 celebration of AIM’s impact, Kelly and Katie told “The Bachelor’s” Chris Harrison the story of how AIM-funded research changed their lives:

▶

We AIM to stop the silence about youth mental health while funding groundbreaking research, so we can find real solutions with immediate impacts.

Because the health of our youth is the health of our future.

Impact Stories

Meet Nilofer and Pinky

Together they set up a Learning study group with others who had left school early, and have now completed their 10th class exams.

I now feel brave enough to tell my parents my opinion and to go to the market alone.
– Nilofer

Meet the Five students

Over several months they completed our group resilience intervention (Nae Disha) for young men with mental health challenges

Together they decided to start a new habit by playing cricket on Sundays rather than go out consuming unhealthy substances.

Earlier I used to get into fights and arguments a lot but now we know how to listen and patiently talk to someone.
– Five Students

Meet Shobha

At first Shobha said leading a group of other carers of family members with mental health problems would be too hard. She gave it a go and found it was lots of fun.

She decided to learn to drive a scooter next, and then arranged contractors to fix the house.

I use to always ask my husband to fix things in the house, but after leading the Nae Umeed group I got more confident in all areas of life.
– Shobha

Imagine standing face to face with your fears, facing similar anxiety but sensing a newfound strength to confront them! Isn't it empowering? That's what exposure therapy does.

It is human nature to avoid situations, activities, and things that cause fear. It may suppress anxiety in the short term, but this can worsen your fears over time. Even a thought of that fear can lead to panic attacks.

Exposure therapy exposes you to the stimuli in a safe environment to uncover your inner reservoir of courage and resilience. You feel like the weight of fear is gradually reducing and getting replaced by a growing sense of empowerment.

In this blog written by Dr Becky Spelman the Private Therapy Clinic, we'll discuss what exposure therapy is, how it works for panic attacks, and what research says about its effectiveness in managing panic attacks.

The Youth Mental Health Project is a group of individuals who believe that:

Mental health lies on a continuum and includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.

A healthy mind is as important to a child's development as a healthy body.

In order to address the devastating consequences of the current mental health crisis, early intervention and prevention must become the norm.

With an emphasis on the mental health of children, teens, and young adults, we believe that educating, supporting, and empowering families and communities to understand and care for the mental health of young people is crucial to the health of a compassionate society.

JED's Mental Health Resource Center helps you manage your emotional health, cope with challenges, and support the people in your life.

Together, we're changing and saving lives.

The Jed Foundation (JED) is a nonprofit that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for our nation's teens and young adults, giving them the skills and support they need to thrive today...and tomorrow.

Equipping Individuals

Research shows that building resiliency and life skills, promoting social connectedness, and encouraging help-seeking and help-giving behaviors in teens and young adults supports their overall well-being, helps them thrive, and protects their emotional health, making it less likely they will fall into unhealthy behaviors. JED uses digital campaigns, the media, and partnerships to engage teens and young adults where they are and in a way they'll understand.

Explore JED's programs that reach millions of young people every year.

Strengthening Schools

For students, their school community is a critical part of their support network and emotional safety net. JED works directly with high schools, colleges, and universities representing millions of students to put systems, programs, and policies in place to create a culture of caring that protects student mental health, builds life skills, and makes it more likely students will seek help and struggling students will be recognized, connected to mental health care, and supported.

Learn more about JED's programs for high schools and colleges.

Mobilizing Communities

Our mental health is impacted by the world around us. There are a range of factors that can influence the perspective, well-being, and behaviors of our teens and young adults including families, friends, media, and high-profile voices. JED partners with these communities to create a culture of caring, grounded in deeper understanding and reduced shame and secrecy, and to collaborate on amplifying their positive impact while minimizing potential harm.

Find out how JED is activating communities across the country and beyond.
