“Psychiatry without Borders — Building Collaborative Mental Health Systems Across the Pacific Rim.”
Mental health challenges do not stop at national borders — and neither should our solutions. PRCP 2027 Manila will examine how countries of the Pacific Rim can share knowledge, workforce strategies, and culturally-grounded models of care to build mental health systems that are collaborative, equitable, and resilient.
Cross-border models of care, task-sharing with primary health, and integration of psychiatry into general health systems.
Culturally-grounded diagnosis and treatment, indigenous frameworks of healing, and the role of family and community.
Training the next generation, addressing regional workforce shortages, and building sustainable supervision networks.
Digital mental health, telepsychiatry across island and rural geographies, and evidence for scalable interventions.
