Global mental health (GMH) work reminds us about our professional ideals and mission. GMH specialists conduct research and provide psychosocial and mental health support to populations affected by humanitarian crises around the world. This work exposes these specialists to situations with a high degree of moral ambiguity and no good solutions, where humanitarian accountability takes priority over conflicting values. Self-awareness helps to address the countertransference that confounds complex decision-making and can compromise the health and safety of all involved. The evolving role of GMH as a humanitarian actor underscores the importance of professional competencies in assuring the integrity and standards of practice.
全球精神卫生（GMH）工作让我们铭记自己的职业理想和使命。GMH专家开展研究，并为世界各地受人道主义危机影响的人群提供心理社会和精神卫生支持。这项工作使这些专家面临高度道德模糊且没有好的解决方案的情况，在这些情况中，人道主义责任优先于相互冲突的价值观。自我意识有助于应对会混淆复杂决策并可能危及所有相关人员健康与安全的反移情。GMH作为人道主义行为体的角色不断演变，凸显了专业能力对于确保执业操守和标准的重要性。
