Mental health psychosocial and ECD programming in complex emergencies

More evidence is needed on the effectiveness of mental health psychosocial support and early childhood development interventions in complex emergencies and their sustainability post-disaster. Importantly a post-disaster focus on improving access to community-based mental health psychosocial support and early childhood development services is a priority for global relief agencies including the World Health Organization the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and non-governmental organizations International Medical Corps HealthNet TPO and Doctors Without Borders.
