Sonora mental health and neurodivergence training

Overview

The government of Sonora, Mexico, has implemented various training initiatives focused on neurological and mental health support.

Initially, the state launched the ‘Neurodivergence in the Classroom’ program through DIF Sonora and Prodedis. This initiative provided preschool, primary, and secondary school teachers with tools for inclusive education, framing neurological differences as part of human diversity requiring specific educational strategies.

Following this, health authorities expanded their training efforts to include first responders and professionals. In Hermosillo, the ‘Unidos para cambiar la narrativa’ program focused on psychological first aid and crisis intervention. Additionally, the State Secretariat of Health began collaborating with international organizations, such as the Mexico-United States Border Health Commission, to implement the mhGAP intervention guide. This broader effort aims to address mental, neurological, and substance use disorders, with over 2,000 people trained to date.

Recent developments show a continued focus on these efforts in Hermosillo, where municipal governments are providing free psychological services and crisis intervention training for first responders. Health authorities also continue to collaborate with international organizations to train medical personnel using the mhGAP guide.
