REVEREND BILL JALLAH, A LIBERIAN religious leader and agricultural social entrepreneur in his late fifties, and I, an American anthropologist and psychiatrist, stood in front of a room of 34 community health volunteers, nurses, midwives, and persons living with mental illness in a hospital annex in Greenville, the headquarters of Sinoe County, Liberia. We were part of a team training these nonspecialist health workers to deliver mental health services in a task-sharing initiative.
