The Case
Mental Health in Post-Revolution Egypt
(edited by Eric Wheeler)
As a result of the political, social, and economic upheaval linked to the Egyptian Revolution of 2011, the youth of Egypt have experienced significant psychological trauma. The University of Cairo and Egypt's Ministry of Health have launched a new initiative, Healthy Minds, Healthy Youth, to promote community mental health care in Cairo, seeking to mitigate the negative impact of traumatic experiences on those affected in the wake of the Revolution.
The University of Cairo and the Egyptian Ministry of Health have solicited proposals from a number of different groups. They will convene to hear the presentation proposals, review the recommendations, and ultimately select one group's program for funding. Drawing upon your team's research and expertise, your task is to propose a strategy for the Healthy Minds, Healthy Youth initiative to address the complex and multifaceted mental health Crisis in the capital city. Your recommendations should specifically focus on the mental health needs of young Cairo residents (15-24 years old) following the Revolution. You and your group have discretion to allocate up to $1.5 million USD over no more than 3 years for your proposed intervention.

Instructions
Mental health is a broad and complex topic. As such, your recommendations should be based on the needs you identify in Cairo within the specific population of 15-24 year-olds as they pertain to post-Revolution trauma. We strongly encourage you to incorporate some or all of the following elements into your proposal (as well as any other considerations you deem significant): 1. access to care, 2. marginalized or minority communities, 3. impact of gender on perception and treatment of mental illness, 4. innovative models for outreach and delivery of case, and 5. stigmatization of mental illness.
