The Community-based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (CB MHPSS) toolkit is designed to provide Red Cross Red Crescent (RCRC) staff and volunteers, and other organisations, with practical and adaptable tools to strengthen Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) at the community level.
The toolkit brings together practices and interventions grounded in the principles of participation, inclusion, empowerment, cultural relevance, and sustainability. It provides practitioners with guidance and practical examples to design, deliver, and evaluate locally appropriate activities on psychosocial support, building social connections, and strengthening peer support and leadership, while remaining aligned with RCRC Movement principles and global standards.
The CB MHPSS toolkit was developed in collaboration between the RCRC Movement MHPSS Hub and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
