Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Mental Health Training
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Significant mental health treatment gaps exist in India due to a shortage of trained personnel.
  • Existing training programs lack focus on complex issues like post-COVID grief, trauma, suicidality, mentoring, and cultural sensitivity.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated psychological distress and training needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a training program for psychologists.
  • To equip psychologists to identify, assess, and treat complex post-COVID psychological concerns.
  • To address identified gaps in mental health training and preparedness.

Main Methods:

  • A sequential mixed-methods exploratory research design was used.
  • Phase I involved tailored program development based on needs assessment.
  • Phase II included program delivery with pre-post evaluations using Moore's framework for 53 postgraduate psychologists.

Main Results:

  • The 10-module online program achieved 70% completion rate.
  • High participant satisfaction (93.54%) and improved competence (mean score 3 to 4) were reported.
  • Participants showed average to above-average learning scores, with positive feedback on practical components and supervision.

Conclusions:

  • The developed training program successfully addressed identified gaps in mental health training.
  • The program demonstrated high engagement, satisfaction, and learning effectiveness.
  • This indigenous, skill-focused training has potential for large-scale deployment and future mental health preparedness.
