Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)

Particularly, children and adolescents already vulnerable to violence, displacement, climate change, and poverty, are at increased risk of psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems.

A dedicated MHPSS Road Map for the MEER is crucial due to the region's unique challenges, including sociocultural complexities, conflict induced adversity, and climate-related shifts, requiring tailored, agile interventions and resource allocation to address the diverse mental health needs of children, adolescents, caregivers, and communities; this region-specific approach ensures responsiveness to immediate, on-the-ground realities, and further enhancements could be achieved through the integration of localized tech solutions and community-based mental health and psychosocial care systems
