Join us for the launch of the Transitions Project, a Wellcome Trust-funded initiative that explores psychiatric deinstitutionalisation and mental health systems reform within the social and political context of South America over the past 50 years.

This event brings together leading voices in global mental health and social medicine to discuss the continuing challenge of psychiatric reform, share insights and lessons from the region, and explore the role of the social sciences in addressing the complex realities of mental health system transformation.
