KOLABO Project
CBT has emerged as a powerful tool for addressing mental health challenges worldwide. However, in many African countries, access to CBT networks and training remains limited. Moreover, there is a pressing need to ensure that CBT practices are culturally sensitive and contextually relevant to diverse African populations.
Aims
The WCCBT aims to address these issues by exploring the feasibility of establishing a regional CBT Association in Africa. This association is intended to serve as a platform for promoting the development of CBT knowledge and skills throughout the continent, while also fostering collaboration and inclusivity in CBT practices on a global scale. Led by Dr. Peter Phiri, the WCCBT sponsored Kolabo project surveys professionals in Africa and across the globe to understand needs, interest and feasibility of developing a regional CBT association in Africa. By participating in the Kolabo study, you have the opportunity to contribute to this important initiative.
Who is eligible?
The WCCBT is seeking input from the West, Global South, and Pan-African countries to include a diverse range of stakeholders and professional colleagues across the globe. Your insights will help us better understand the needs, challenges, and opportunities related to CBT in Africa and inform the development of a Pan-African CBT Association.
Participating in our study is easy and confidential. It involves completing a brief online questionnaire lasting 10-15 minutes.
