This field guide addresses a key challenge in global mental health: scaling proven task sharing models while maintaining quality, consistency, and appropriate supervision. Although AI has significant potential to strengthen training, supervision, quality assurance, and service delivery, many organizations lack practical guidance on how to apply it responsibly.

The Mental Health & AI Field Guide provides practical frameworks, readiness assessments, case studies, and implementation guidance to help organizations responsibly apply AI within mental health task sharing programs. Developed by Grand Challenges Canada, Google, and McKinsey Health Institute, it explores how AI can strengthen training, supervision, quality assurance, and operational efficiency to expand access to evidence-based mental health support globally.
