Over the last decade conflicts, instability, and climate-related disasters such as those in Syria, Pakistan, Yemen, Central America and Ukraine have resulted in significant mass migration and have had profoundly negative impacts on mental health and psychosocial wellbeing.
Different parts of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement have responded along with other organizations. The Research Carnival brought together 18 presenters and 54 participants from across the world, who have been working in Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) to showcase and share their experiences of undertaking research, monitoring and evaluation in conflict and migration settings. The Research Carnival was framed by the recent publication of the Mental health and psychosocial support in humanitarian settings: research priorities for 2021–30.
