ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Togo and many other African countries face an urgent need for more, and better, mental health therapy: The World Health Organization classifies its Africa region as the one with the highest suicide rate in the world and some of the lowest public expenditures on mental health. To contend with the mental health gap in developing countries, hairdressers in West and Central Africa have joined the fight. Mental health professionals are now providing hairdressers three days of training in which they learn how to ask open-ended questions; spot nonverbal signs of distress, like headaches or disheveled clothes; and, critically, how not to gossip or give detrimental advice. Some 150 hairdressers have so far received the honorary title of “mental health ambassador” by the Bluemind Foundation, which organizes the training.
