The International Division has worked with programs and government agencies throughout the world. Below is a selection of past projects with a brief description of the services provided.
Training and Development of Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Malmö, Sweden
 The focus of the project was to increase the competence in rehabilitation within Malmö and to increase the ability of organizations to use the competence to deliver psychiatric rehabilitation services. Onsite training sessions occurred in Malmö from 1994 through 2002. Seven staff across Vocational Rehabilitation, Social Services and Psychiatry were trained as trainers, and three staff were trained as program consultants. Ongoing remote collaboration exists between Malmö psychiatric rehabilitation practitioners and Boston University consultants through an online discussion group. As a result, consumers and practitioners state they feel more hopeful and positive about what is possible to achieve. Find out more about onsite training.
