New Paper: A transdiagnostic psychosocial prevention-intervention service for young people in the Republic of Georgia
CIF researchers in collaboration with partners from GIP-Tbilisi and Cardiff University published new scientific article in the European Journal of Psychotraumatology. The article entitled “A transdiagnostic psychosocial prevention-intervention service for young people in the Republic of Georgia: early results of the effectiveness study” has been developed in the frame of the PAMAd project and aims to examine the characteristics of young people presenting to Club Synergy and the effectiveness of contact with the service.
The decade between the ages of 14 and 25 is a particularly vulnerable period for the development of mental health problems, especially of common mental disorders. Mental health and psychosocial prevention and support services for young people in the Republic of Georgia have been extremely limited, leaving a wide treatment and care gap. Club Synergy was designed as an innovative, pragmatic solution that is responsive to the needs of young people and incorporates all necessary levels of care required (prevention, early identification & intervention, and treatment) into a single, trauma-informed service that uses a transdiagnostic approach.
The research project is jointly funded by the Department for International Development (DFID), the Medical Research Council (MRC), and the National Institutes of Health Research (NIHR). The project is implemented by the Curatio International Foundation, the Global Initiative in Psychiatry-Tbilisi, Cardiff University (UK), and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (UK).
