Mind the Gap Consortium Focuses on Mental Health Access for Minority Groups

Mind the Gap is a research consortium committed to enhancing mental health literacy and improving access to evidence-based treatments, specifically for minority populations and immigrants. The initiative emphasizes the integration of cultural and linguistic elements in its treatment approach to address the unique challenges these groups face in seeking mental health care.

Based at the Centre for Psychiatry Research at Karolinska Institutet, Mind the Gap assembles a multidisciplinary team of experts from both Swedish and international research institutions. The consortium aims to provide high-quality mental health services to those who require them the most.

Currently, the consortium is delivering its first wave of studies, which offer evidence-based psychological treatments in clear and accessible English.

Mind the Gap is also open to collaboration with researchers interested in contributing to its mission. Those wishing to partner on projects within the framework of the consortium can reach out to discuss opportunities.

The steering group includes Olof Molander, Josefin Särnholm, and Nitya Jayaram-Lindström, with the group's office located at Norra Stationsgatan 69, 11364 Stockholm.
