Abstract

Community-based interventions (CBI) effectively address the negative impact of social and environmental factors on mental well-being by leveraging community resources, strengths, and resilience. Successful examples, such as the Friendship Bench in Zimbabwe and the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) program, demonstrate the importance of community engagement and multi-sector partnerships in creating culturally responsive and sustainable mental health programs.
