Building Capacity

拉丁美洲中心将严重精神障碍患者的社区卫生保健（CHC-SMD）设想为一个综合的初级保健和二级精神卫生服务系统，尽可能接近使用它们的社区，所有严重精神障碍患者及其家人都可以获得，促进充分的社区融合，并让受影响的个人，他们的家人，和他们的社区在塑造提供给他们的卫生服务。因此，能力建设部分的目标是确保HLA有能力启动战略举措，在短期内（5年赠款期）为CHC-SMD取得重大进展，其次，建立人力资源，以维持持续的进展。 HLA工作的核心是这样一个概念，即在初级和初级之间适当使用任务转移干预， 护理和二级精神卫生服务将促进CHC-SMD的进展。因此，我们特别 注意在能力建设部分进行这种干预的能力建设。虽然我们的首要任务是培训心理健康专业人员，但我们也计划为医生，护士，社会工作者，社区心理健康工作者和同伴支持工作者提供实习经验，他们在所有这些阶段都发挥着关键作用。具有此范围的能力建设计划将最好地服务于我们的目的，是可行的，将有助于防止初级和二级保健之间的培训和服务碎片化;将在HLA地区产生巨大影响;并将继续产生影响，远远超过5年的赠款期。 为实现HLA的目标，能力建设部分的目标是：（a）建立一个自我维持的 （B）加强人类住区中心制定、实施 并评估每个站点内和跨站点的任务转移方法;（c）为普通医生，护士，社会工作者，社区精神卫生工作者和同伴支持工作者提供任务转移的实习经验;以及（d）为偏远服务不足地区的精神卫生专业人员使用创新方法来访问我们的能力建设计划。

The Hub for Latin America envisions Community Health Care for individuals with Severe Mental Disorders (CHC-SMD) as an integrated system of primary care and secondary mental health services that are delivered as close as possible to the communities that use them, that are accessible to all people with severe mental disorders and their families, that promote full community integration, and that engage the affected individuals, their families, and their communities in shaping the health services offered to them. Therefore the goals of the Capacity Building Component are to ensure that the HLA has the capacity for launching strategic initiatives that will generate significant progress toward CHC-SMD in the short term (5 year grant period), and second, to build human resources that will sustain ongoing progress. Central to the HLA woric is the notion that the appropriate use of task shifting interventions within and across primary care and secondary mental health services will catalyze progress toward CHC-SMD. Therefore, we give particular attention to building capacity for such interventions in the Capacity Building Component. Although our foremost priority is to train mental health professionals, we also plan to engage and offer practicum experiences to doctors, nurses, social workers, community mental health workers, and peer support workers, who have a key role to play in all these stages. A capacity building program with this scope will best serve our purposes, is feasible, will help prevent fragmentation of training and services between primary and secondary care; wili have a large impact across the HLA region; and will continue to have an impact well beyond the 5 year period of the grant. To achieve the goals of the HLA, the aims of the Capacity Building Component are; (a) to build a self-sustaining regional network of young leaders for the next era; (b) to enhance the capacity of the HLA sites to devise, implement, and evaluate task shifting approaches both within each site and across the sites; (c) to offer a practicum experience in task shifting to general doctors, nurses, social workers, community mental health workers, and peer support workers; and (d) to use innovative approaches for mental health professionals in remote underserved areas to access our capacity building program.
