MHPSS Advisor, Shona Whitton & MHPSS in Emergencies Intern Augustin Lambert have prepared two new Guidance Notes with a focus on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) in the context of vector-borne diseases and epidemics.
Red Cross Red Crescent colleagues are facing health related emergencies across the globe and the RCRC Movement MHPSS Hub reacted in response to requests for short and efficient guidance on MHPSS considerations in emergencies for both programming and practice.
The guidance notes are intended for Red Cross Red Crescent Movement components who may be responding to vector-borne disease outbreaks or epidemics in their country, or region. They include guidance on:
- common reactions and behaviors in outbreaks
- integration of MHPSS considerations for into health responses
- links to existing relevant materials
