Mental health and psychosocial support
MHPSS in humanitarian work
I have worked with mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) for 18 years in different countries, settings and ways. I have experience with programme development, monitoring and evaluation, capacity building, resource mobilization, advocacy and research.
I have worked extensively with the development, adaptation and rolling out of interventions and training curricula on a variety of topics, including:
- Psychological First Aid: for adults, children, staff and volunteers in groups, persons affected by SGBV.
- Scalable psychological interventions: Problem Management Plus, Self Help Plus, EASE
- MHPSS in emergencies
- Community-based MHPSS approaches
- MHPSS for children, adolescents and families
- Child protection and child safeguarding
- Suicide prevention
- Monitoring and evaluation of MHPSS programmes and components
- Caring for staff and volunteers
- Stress management and self-care (e.g. Self Help Plus)
