ABSTRACT
The United States is facing a mental health workforce shortage, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have historically grappled with even greater shortages. Therefore, LMICs have thought creatively about expanding the mental health workforce and the settings in which to deliver evidence-based and equitable mental health care. The authors introduce some mental health interventions in LMICs, describe evidence of the efficacy of these interventions gleaned from this context, and discuss the applicability of these interventions to the United States. The authors also reflect on the benefits and challenges of implementing these interventions in the U.S. mental health care system to alleviate its current workforce shortage.
