: This article draws attention to an initiative aimed at benefiting colleagues in developing countries, through financial and/or moral support. It describes an attempt to engage The Royal College of Australian and New Zealand Psychiatrists ('the College') in supporting this philanthropic activity. It further aims to attract interest from the College and fellows in contributing to international philanthropy.
: Doubling provides a credible model for facilitating better mental health care in situations where there are trained staff but inadequate resources. The College's resistance to engagement with this project may represent a missed opportunity for philanthropic support.
本文提请关注一项旨在通过财政和/或道义支持使发展中国家的同行受益的倡议。它描述了促使澳大利亚和新西兰皇家精神科医学院(“学院”)参与支持这项慈善活动的尝试。它还旨在吸引学院及其会员对国际慈善事业做出贡献的兴趣。
“加倍援助”为在有训练有素的工作人员但资源不足的情况下促进更好的精神卫生保健提供了一个可信的模式。学院拒绝参与该项目可能意味着错失了慈善支持的机会。
