Summary

The Thinking Healthy Program is evidence based psychological intervention, delivered by non-specialists, with proven impact on maternal depression. A major challenge in the scale-up of this intervention, especially where health systems are weak, is providing quality training and supervision at scale. Women living in post-conflict areas are at a higher risk of depression than the general population.The key innovation proposed is the development and evaluation of a technology-assisted cascade training and supervision system to assist scale-up of the Thinking Healthy Programme in a post conflict area of Pakistan.
