A severe shortage of mental health professionals leaves millions without care in many countries, including Zimbabwe, where only 12 psychiatrists serve 14 million people. By training grandmothers in evidence-based talk therapy, communities are bridging this gap and delivering life-changing support on park benches.

Clinical trials showed these grandmothers were even more effective at treating depression than doctors.
