Summary

Mental health problems are increasing in Pakistan and there is a 90% treatment gap in mental health services. Accessibility towards mental health services is limited due to range of factors including low income and resources, lack of the trained staff and lack of specialized and non-specialized mental health facilities. Therefore, there is a dire need to develop indigenous solution of the mental health issues grounded in Islamic teaching.

In this regard this study is designed to address the mental health issues at community level. Therefore, this study divided into two phases. In first phase the aim of the study is to adapt World Health Organization recommended psychological intervention for paraprofessionals and to train the paraprofessional on this indigenously adapted intervention. Subsequently, in second phase the study aims to assess the effectiveness of the indigenously adapted Problem Management Plus (IA-PM+) as an evidence based remedy in the treatment of psychological distress of person living with disabilities (PWDs).
