Conditions
Summary
Therapists at the Grand Bahama Resilience Center (GBRC) will be trained to deliver Problem Management Plus (PM+), a WHO intervention. Then, those therapists will deliver PM+ (5 one-on-one skills-based sessions) to a total of 50 adult clients experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties (excluding anyone with cognitive difficulties or psychosis). Participants will complete (de-identified) self-report survey assessments before PM+, after PM+, 3 months later, and 6 months later. After receiving 5 sessions of PM+, participants will be randomized to either receive a one-time booster session of PM+ (to be co-created by the PI and the GBRC providers) three months later or to a control group which will receive a phone call reminding them that they will receive their third assessment soon.
