Vision & Mission

The Global MHPSS Network mission: To respond to the mental health and wellbeing needs of communities affected by adversity and trauma related to conflict, climate change, disasters, human rights abuses, migration, extremism, and violence.

Our Aims

• Increase access to culturally responsive and trauma-informed MHPSS services
• Enhance participatory and human-centered collaboration between affected communities, organizations, and workers for delivering MHPSS
• Expand community-engaged systems and workforces for delivering MHPSS

We work alongside communities to:

• Promote mental health and expand access to services
• Provide guidance on how to identify local needs and tailor MHPSS activities that build on available resources
• Provide practical approaches to delivering mental health and psychosocial activities, programs, and interventions in affected communities
• Address cultural barriers that affect communities and people with mental health conditions
• Strengthen local and global MHPSS workforces by integrating learning and practice opportunities for graduate students
