Celebrating 10 years of independent governance in 2018, Kosovo has endeavored to develop a solid infrastructure to support its civil society. A culture that has been shaped by conflict and violence now looks to a bright future. Supported by U.S. and international nongovernmental organizations, Kosovo, the poorest nation in Europe, is home to some of the most innovative programs addressing the challenges of access to health care, advancing education, stabilizing the rule of law, and ensuring basic human needs for their entire population.
Connect with addiction and mental health professionals in Kosovo to discuss:
Epidemiology of addiction and mental health disorders in Kosovo;
Assessment, intervention and referral, treatment and care options for drug and alcohol use disorders;
Scarcity of service providers and access to treatment;
Role of primary care and community-based services in identification and treatment;
Ongoing quality of life and community rehabilitation programming;

Treatment for post-war traumatic disorders; and
Roles of international NGOs in developing programs in Kosovo.
