A team from Brown University composed of two Child psychologists and two Child and adolescent psychiatry fellows traveled to Moi last February. The goal of the visit was to continue to expand capacity for providing Child and adolescent psychiatry services.
We worked directly with registrars and consultants seeing patients in the newly opened child outpatient clinic (part of the general outpatient clinic), consulted on several child/adolescent cases in the inpatient Mental Health Unit, and visited the new Rafiki Center for Excellence in Adolescent Care.
Additionally, our team engaged in education and training, visiting the Eldoret Special School with one of the consultants and providing Q and A on careers in psychology for several psychology classes at Moi University. We also attended a lab session for one of the psychology classes on assessment, provided consult/liaison with the pediatrics team for several cases, provided workshops on providing visual supports for individuals with developmental disabilities, and provided a workshop on motivational interviewing.
During the visit, we also traveled to Webuye to provide consultation and training to family medicine registrars, and provided both staff training and a weekly psychotherapy group for the Tumaini Shelter.
