Abstract text:
Drawing on diverse contexts across the region, this symposium highlights emerging frameworks that combine psychological science with social innovation. Presentations will explore national and community-level responses such as peer-led mental health initiatives, family-engaged interventions, trauma-informed and resilience-based approaches, and the rise of digital and tele-mental health platforms. Collectively, these developments demonstrate how the field is moving beyond the clinic to co-create accessible, participatory ecosystems of care. The contributions from each author will be discussed and integration in the plenary session.
