Following up the kick-off event, the co-minded toolbox ideathon brought together 22 experts to create a guideline on best practices in all components of research in global digital mental health. The resulting co-minded toolbox aims to be a comprehensive, hands-on guide to support researchers at every stage in global digital mental health. This resource is informed by shared knowledge and expertise from the community and will be shared soon.
More than 30 participants travelled to Frankfurt (Oder) for the hybrid co-minded kick-off event – a community with the vision of bridging the disciplines of digital, global, and mental health research. The two-day scientific workshop on 18 - 19 April 2024 included a full program of panels with research presentations, elevator pitches on current research, and expert-guided collaborative sessions. Key takeaways include the recognized need for interdisciplinary collaboration and long-term planning to bridge the gap between research and implementation. Participants express eagerness for future workshops and collaboration.
