Program Introduction

People in armed conflicts and other complex emergencies are forced to cope with a variety of distressing experiences. What we tend to observe first are the physical needs. However, the emotional, social, and mental conditions of those exposed to crises are frequently underestimated or even neglected. Left untreated, hidden mental wounds can take an immense toll on the victims of emergencies with long-lasting impacts.

Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) programs are crucial activities in the humanitarian response while being some of the least expensive too. These programs can generate a priceless positive impact, especially as a part of an early response. MHPSS saves lives and lays the foundation for healthy communities.
