Bandaids on bullet wounds? Providing effective, dignified, and ethical mental health care in conflict-affected settings
Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) is a large and growing area of global practice and policy. This talk will discuss the evidence basis for MHPSS for children and families whose lives are affected by violence as well as ethical considerations in these settings. Using examples from our team's work in Egypt, Palestine, and Peru, we will discuss questions regarding the contextual and cultural adaptation of mental health care and next steps towards providing ethical and dignified care for individuals and families whose lives are affected by violence.
