Custom Cuba Travel

Study social work and and social welfare topics in Cuba. Cuba has approached mental health care using a community centered model in the backdrop of a single payer medical system.

 

Visit Cuban social and mental health agencies focused on bettering the lives of the island’s people and in the process engage in people to people exchanges with the agencies’ devoted professionals and patients. Confer with Cuban mental health professionals and colleagues on how the United States and Cuba differ and overlap in their approaches to mental health care while you learn about the philosophy behind the goals of mental health care in Cuba. Discuss changing and future trends in this field as the island undergoes rapid transformation after decades of relative isolation.  

 

This exciting trip will give participants a rare opportunity to compare and contrast how our two very different political and economic systems address and tackle issues regarding mental health and social welfare.
