This month's commentary comes to you from Eldoret, Kenya, where a group of child clinical psychologists and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows from Brown Medical School are completing a rotation in global mental health. We are collaborating with Kenyan colleagues in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department at the Moi University School of Medicine, learning about providing mental health services in resource‐poor settings, and hoping to provide some training in treatments that are more commonly provided in the United States.
