We invited you to our Jour fixe on 27 June 2023.

In the first part, Liliana Abreu (Associated Fellow / Politics and Public Administration) gave a talk entitled “Breaking the cycle: Pioneering a Global Mental Health Approach to End Violence”.

Abstract:

Violence is a complex and pervasive issue affecting individuals, families, and communities worldwide. To address this multifaceted problem effectively, it is crucial to adopt a comprehensive approach that goes beyond traditional law enforcement and criminal justice measures. This presentation explores the concept of preventing violence not only through a public health lens but also through the emergent field of research and practice: global mental health. The focus of this work lies in research on violence, its negative social and psychological impact and how we may be able to counter this. Causes of violence are multi-faceted - high levels of poverty, inequality and social exclusion of a significant proportion of the population stands out as major causes and, therefore, offending and detention are also high. How to begin to cope with the mental health burden, violent victimization and continuous recidivism is an urgent question. A preliminary study conducted in Brazil in 2022 will be presented.
