My name is Alexander Yallah Jr., and I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a specialisation in mental health care, public health, and community well-being. I currently hold the position of Assistant County Mental Health Clinician Supervisor for the Montserrado County Health Team, where I have been instrumental in leading mental health initiatives and enhancing the mental health services within the county since January 2022. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Cuttington University in Liberia and have obtained several certifications, including the Universal Prevention Curriculum for Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Practitioner training, which the Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Program in Liberia supported. Additionally, I have completed a certification in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights from Lund University in Sweden. I am presently pursuing a Master of Science in Advanced Clinical Practice in Psychiatric-Mental Health at United Methodist University, with graduation pending. My academic achievements are complemented by professional experience in proposal writing and project management, which are designed to improve health services in Montserrado County. I am currently enrolled in a two-year Master of Philosophy program in Applied Epidemiology and Disease Control at the University of Ghana to deepen my knowledge and skills to advance healthcare delivery inLiberia
