Mental Health in Haiti: A Literature Review
At the request of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse of the World Health Organization, we have prepared a brief systematic review of the English and French-language literature on mental health in Haiti. This review focuses on relevant beliefs, help-seeking behavior, service utilization and both formal and informal resources for mental health. Our hope is that this report can provide some useful background for those unfamiliar with the local situation who hope to contribute to improving mental health services in the country.
