dc.description.abstractOver the past decade, there has been increased attention to global mental health, which emphasizes improving access to quality mental health care in order to reduce the worldwide treatment gap. However, Eastern European and Central Asian countries and their specific mental health needs have largely been underemphasized, evidenced by a dearth in literature and funding. Here, we provide an overview of the mental health needs in Ukraine and its challenges with quality care provision as a key example in highlighting these gaps, then broaden our discussion to include parallels with other countries in the Eastern European and Central Asian region. We describe the unique strengths relative to mental health care provision that are present in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and suggest the importance of post-graduate training, regional collaboration, and capacity building specific to research management as strategies to address the current challenges. We stress that greater investment from funders, government, and the global mental health community are needed to improve the current mental health situation in Ukraine, specifically, and Eastern Europe and Central Asia, broadly. We argue that greater attention to Eastern Europe and Central Asia is needed to fully advance the agenda of the global mental health field.en_US
