Building an Online Community of Practice for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergencies and Situations of Adversity

The Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Network seeks to connect and support frontline workers, researchers and policy-makers in delivering and developing mental health and psychosocial support services for individuals and communities affected by crises across the globe. By promoting the sharing of practical advice and resources on both proven and promising interventions, the MHPSS Network will improve the effectiveness and sustainability of services provided to vulnerable people suffering the immediate and long-term social and mental health consequences of natural disaster, armed conflict, chronic poverty and devastating epidemics such as HIV/AIDS.
