Young people between 16 to 26 are often caught between services for either younger children or adults. Serious mental health conditions are most likely to begin in this age range, yet young adults are least likely to seek help.

The Yale Global Mental Health Program (GMHP) begins 2021 with new teaching and trainee leadership.
Theddeus Iheanacho, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry, and Sirikanya (Sanya) Sellers, MD, a first-year resident, are the new faculty and residency leaders, respectively. Both hope to continue to strengthen the program, which promotes awareness of issues of global mental health and social disparities, and helps trainees develop tools to address these issues both at home and abroad.
The program started about nine years ago as an elective for psychiatry residents and fellows but now is open to Yale School of Medicine students and others at Yale.
