Boston Medical Center Psychiatrist Partners to Advance Mental Health Care Across the African Diaspora

When psychiatrist Dr. David Henderson came to Boston Medical Center, he inherited patients from across the world. One of his patients, who is from Liberia, said he trusts Dr. Henderson because “he understands my culture and talks to me like he’s from my culture”. That cultural sensitivity is pivotal in advancing mental health care.

It’s why Dr. Henderson partnered with a renowned South African psychiatrist to establish Africa Global Mental Health Institute (AGMHI) nearly eight years ago. Today, AGMHI fosters collaborations across more than 25 countries and is working to shift stigmas and improve mental health care for people of African descent no matter where they are in the world.

Watch the video and hear directly from Dr. Henderson and others on the impact of the AGMHI.
